Not All ADMs Are the Same — Regeneration Is Key
Harnessing the body’s natural processes is essential to restoring and maintaining the structure, function, and physiology of tissue. Upon tissue injury, the body will begin the repair or regeneration process, based on its recognition of the material used. An intact extracellular tissue matrix contains the ideal scaffold, with critical cellular and biochemical components to support the regenerative process.8,9
An ADM is recognized either positively or negatively*
*Correlation of these results to results in humans has not been established.
ARTIATM Demonstrated a Positive Biologic Response
Rapid revascularization, cellular repopulation, and minimal inflammatory response were shown in a primate model.3 Harnessing over 30 years of experience in tissue processing was central in the development of ARTIA™.2 The processing is similar to STRATTICE™ Pliable, other than the enhanced antigen removal step further improving ARTIA's biologic response and pliability.3,*

ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix Indications and Important Safety Information
INDICATIONS
ALLODERM SELECT™ Regenerative Tissue Matrix (ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM refers to both ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM and ALLODERM SELECT RESTORE™ RTM products) is intended to be used for repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate integumental tissue or for other homologous uses of human integument. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is intended for use in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction surgical procedures where the use of the acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is considered homologous, such as managing a potential skin defect created from harvesting tissue for use in autologous tissue reconstruction. Examples of uses in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction not considered homologous include use of an ADM to form an extension of the submuscular pocket for placement of a breast implant or tissue expander, and use to prevent expander or implant extrusion, or to constrain the expander or implant in the correct position. This product is intended for use in one patient, on a single occasion. ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not indicated for use as a dural substitute or intended for use in veterinary applications.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should not be used in patients with a known sensitivity to any of the antibiotics listed on the package and/or Polysorbate 20.
WARNINGS
Processing of the tissue, laboratory testing, and careful donor screening minimize the risk of the donor tissue transmitting disease to the recipient patient. As with any processed donor tissue, ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is not guaranteed to be free of all pathogens. No long-term studies have been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic or mutagenic potential or reproductive impact of the clinical application of ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.
DO NOT re-sterilize ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM. DO NOT reuse once the tissue graft has been removed from the packaging and/or is in contact with a patient. Discard all open and unused portions of the product in accordance with standard medical practice and institutional protocols for disposal of human tissue. Once a package or container seal has been compromised, the tissue shall be either transplanted, if appropriate, or otherwise discarded. DO NOT use if the foil pouch is opened or damaged. DO NOT use if the seal is broken or compromised. DO NOT use if the temperature monitoring device does not display "OK". DO NOT use after the expiration date noted on the label. Transfer ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM from the foil pouch aseptically. DO NOT place the foil pouch in the sterile field.
PRECAUTIONS
Poor general medical condition or any pathology that would limit the blood supply and compromise healing should be considered when selecting patients for implanting ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM as such conditions may compromise successful clinical outcome. Whenever clinical circumstances require implantation in a site that is contaminated or infected, appropriate local and/or systemic anti-infective measures should be taken.
ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM has a distinct basement membrane (upper) and dermal surface (lower). When applied as an implant, it is recommended that the dermal side be placed against the most vascular tissue. Soak the tissue for a minimum of 2 minutes using a sterile basin and room temperature sterile saline or room temperature sterile lactated Ringer’s solution to cover the tissue. If any hair is visible, remove using aseptic technique before implantation.
ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM should be hydrated and moist when the package is opened. DO NOT use if this product is dry. Use of this product is limited to specific health professionals (eg, physicians, dentists, and/or podiatrists). Certain considerations should be made to reduce the risk of adverse events when performing surgical procedures using a tissue graft. Please see the Instructions for Use (IFU) for more information on patient/product selection and surgical procedures involving tissue implantation before using ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM.
ADVERSE EVENTS
Potential adverse events which may result from surgical procedures associated with the implant of a tissue graft include, but are not limited to, the following: wound or systemic infection; seroma; dehiscence; hypersensitive, allergic or other immune response; and sloughing or failure of the graft.
ALLODERM SELECT™ RTM is available by prescription only.
