3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Off-the-Shelf Solutions for Optimizing Soft Tissue Restoration
Moderator: Brian Thornton, MD
Location: PSTM Exhibit Hall, Innovation Theater
Description: Optimal soft tissue restoration may require the synergistic support of different types of solutions to culminate in successful outcomes. These innovative solutions are provided by MTF Biologics, which is a non-profit organization founded and governed by surgeons, who are focused on providing effective solutions for their patients. MTF Biologics provides off-the-shelf allograft solutions that are aseptically processed without terminal sterilization or irradiation which preserves the inherent structural properties of the allograft tissue. FlexHD Pliable, a reticular cut human ADM, provides a preserved scaffold structure and consistent graft thickness, and is available in different shapes/sizes to support soft tissue restoration. This native open, uniform, non-polar structure facilitates host cell infiltration and organized host tissue integration. Post-operatively, to further support soft tissue restoration and aesthetics, two off-the-shelf fat volume restoration and fat grafting options are available. Renuva allograft adipose matrix is the first off-the-shelf alternative to small volume fat grafting. LipoGrafter, is an efficient, closed autologous fat harvesting device using s low-pressure fat transfer system that minimizes fat cell damage and risk of contamination. Altogether, these off-the-shelf solutions can help optimize patient outcomes and soft tissue restoration with enhanced host response due to the preserved inherent properties of the allograft and autologous tissue.
