Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) mesh

Processed, decellularized human or porcine dermis supplied as a sterile sheet/mesh that integrates with host tissue and provides structural support; distinct from the already-catalogued porcine intestinal submucosa graft (a different tissue source and use).

How it is used

Internal sling/hammock that supports and positions the breast implant or tissue expander during implant-based breast reconstruction.

Clinical tip

A cohort study found markedly different complication rates by product (AlloDerm ~21%, Strattice ~6%), driven mainly by seroma rate; the products are not clinically interchangeable.
