In-Depth Information
Although well over two million patients have been treated worldwide with
ECM-based grafts, the widespread clinical use of decellularized biologic grafts
is still in its infancy due to their cost, because many surgeons have tried to use
them unsuccessfully, or because many surgeons have simply not bought in to the
concept of tissue regeneration. As we continue to learn more about how the
product, the patient, and the procedure must interact to achieve a successful
outcome when these biologic materials are used, it is likely that more surgeons
will develop the necessary skills and meticulous surgical techniques required to
overcome the inherent challenges that this new field possesses.
