AlloDerm Tissue Processing Technology
  • Begin with donated skin purchased from tissue
    banks
  • Processing to remove epidermis (12 hours in 1 M
    NaCl)
  • Processing to remove all cellular components (1
    hour in 0.5 SDS)
  • eliminates the immune response in the patient

5
AlloDerm Tissue Processing Technology
  • Result matrix of collagen, elastin, intact
    basement membrane, glycosaminoglycans (proteins)
  • Matrix is then freeze-dried without damaging the
    matrix protein structure
  • cryoprotectant dextran, sucrose, raffinose

General Use of AlloDerm
  • Scaffold for growth of new tissue
  • Patients cells repopulate and lay down their
    matrix
  • Vasculature grows in
  • Graft becomes incorporated into surrounding
    tissue and is eventually indistinguishable from it

Third Degree Burn Treatment
  • Dermis is damaged (does not normally regenerate -
    is replaced with scar tissue)
  • Standard treatment - full thickness graft from
    unburned part of body (often meshed)
  • Creates donor site wound that is as bad as (or
    worse than) the burn site

13
Burn Treatment with AlloDerm
  • Use AlloDerm in place of full thickness graft
  • Still requires an ultra-thin autograft (epidermis
    only) from the patient
  • 0.006 vs. 0.014

Results with AlloDerm
  • Over time, graft is repopulated with cells and
    blood vessels and becomes part of surrounding
    skin
  • Excellent cosmetic appearance
  • Excellent range of motion - used especially at
    joints

Other Uses Currently Approved
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • some ethical issues
  • Periodontal Surgery
  • replaces gingiva rather than dermis

19
Regulatory Status
  • Considered by FDA to be a banked human tissue -
    not regulated by FDA
  • Regulated by AATB - much easier
  • Some new applications are being considered
    devices by FDA - these will be regulated

20
Other Products
  • Repliform in urogynecology
  • Incontinence treatment
  • Bladder sling - lift and support the neck of the
    bladder and provide urethral support
  • Pelvic floor reconstruction
  • Partnership with Boston Scientific
  • HUGE Market

21
Other Products
  • Cymetra
  • Powdered form of AlloDerm that can be
    administered by injection
  • Plastic surgery applications - acne scar revision
  • Incontinence treatment

22
Near Future Products
  • Vascular grafts
  • Treat harvested arteries using the AlloDerm
    process - develop an acellular, freeze-dried
    tissue tube
  • Used in coronary artery bypass surgery replacing
    autografts (from leg veins)
  • In large animal study phase (looks good)
  • HUGE market - no good alternative

23
Partnerships
  • Wright Medical Technologies
  • Graft Jacket?
  • Repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate
    periosteum
  • Also for diabetic foot ulcers
  • Stryker Corporation
  • AlloCraft? DBM
  • Bone graft
