What are the benefits of using allograft tissue?
Millions of tissue transplants have been performed and have improved the quality of life for recipients. Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic and metal implants. However, unlike synthetic and metal implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body. Allograft is natural and biocompatible, allowing your body to remodel it into your own tissue over time. Using allograft tissue rather than an autograft – or tissue from your own body – eliminates a second surgical site, allowing you to avoid additional pain, risk, and a possible longer hospital stay. Patients should discuss their individual treatment options with their physicians.
