LifeCell Tissue Matrices: new alternatives for soft-tissue repair

There are many reasons patients may need an operation to repair weak or damaged tissue. Hernia surgery, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, revision procedures after breast augmentation surgery, and other diseases and degenerative conditions can all require tissue repair.

To help reduce the risk of potential problems in repairing or replacing weak or damaged tissue, your surgeon may choose to use an alternative: AlloDerm® Regenerative Tissue Matrix or Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix from LifeCell. AlloDerm® Tissue Matrix and Strattice™ Tissue Matrix support regeneration (growth of new tissue) and they actually become part of your own body.


Every patient is different and results may vary. Only a physician can determine the best treatment for you. Please ask your doctor to explain the benefits and risks to see if LifeCell products are right for you.
