A procedure using graft material(acellular dermal graft) derived from donated human dermal tissue; used in reconstructive plastic, dental, and burn surgery. 2, record 1, English, - AlloDerm
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
AlloDerm is made from donated human skin. It is handled in much the same way as other transplantable organs. The tissue is processed to remove cells that might cause the body to reject the foreign tissue or react negatively to it. What’s left is the collagen structure (fiber-like proteins) and other proteins naturally found in skin. This structure acts as a frame for tissue to grow into and around. 3, record 1, English, - AlloDerm

Le greffon dermique acellulaire est un biomatériau récemment utilisé dans les procédures médicales et dentaires. Le tissu est prélevé par voie chirurgicale sur un donneur dans des conditions stériles de salle d'opération. AlloDerm est traité pour éliminer les couches épidermiques et toutes les cellules du derme. Puisque le procédé d'AlloDerm consiste à éliminer toutes les cellules, aucun virus ne peut être transmis. Un second traitement antiviral est effectué en vue d'ajouter un agent inactivant du VIH. En outre, par l'élimination des cellules, il n'y a plus aucun élément susceptible de provoquer un rejet. Comparativement aux greffes de tissu non traité, l'AlloDerm n'a aucune composante cellulaire favorisant l'inflammation ou le rejet. 1, record 1, French, - AlloDerm

A dermal matrix graft harvested from [donor or] cadaver skin and processed with the epidermis and dermal cells removed. 4, record 2, English, - acellular%20dermal%20graft
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The acellular dermal graft is processed from human donor skin obtained from approved tissue banks. In processing, the epidermis is removed, and the remaining dermal layer is washed in detergent solutions to remove cellular components. After the tissue has been decellularized, the acellular collagen matrix is then cryoprotected and rapidly freeze-dried by a patented process to preserve biochemical and structural integrity. This packaged acellular dermis can be stored under refrigeration for at least 2 years. Rehydration of the freeze-dried dermis for a minimum of 10 minutes in physiologic saline using a normal sterile procedure yields a pliable collagen template for cell repopulation. 5, record 2, English, - acellular%20dermal%20graft
