Plastic Surgery Commercially Available • Plastic & Orthopedic Surgery • Soft tissue repair indications • Acute trauma • Post surgery closure • Difficult to heal wounds • No donor site surgery required 91 y/o patient with Melanoma on top of right hand. One week post surgery, full thickness remodeling initiated. Patient exhibits minimal inflammation and pain. Two months post surgery, full thickness remodeling near completion. Patient has complete range of motion.

What is ACell Vet ? • Extracellular Matrix (ECM) • Scaffold to Promote Site Specific Host • Cells to Infiltrate • Naturally derived (porcine) • ACell-ular • No Immune System Rejection • Totally Resorbable • Completely Replaced By Healthy Host Tissue • Not Chemically Crosslinked • No Additional Chemicals to Promote Rejection
How ECMs Work • Site Specific Constructive Remodeling • of Host Tissue by recruitment of • Peripheral • and • Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells.
ACell Vet Applications • Wound Care • Corneal Ulcers • Dental Applications • Tendon & Ligament Repair • Fracture Repair • Gastrointestinal Surgery • Osteoarthritis • Body wall, soft tissue repair • Cancer reconstruction • Urological procedures including Incontinence • Dura Repair • Cranial Cruciate Regeneration
Dudley – Degloving Injury • Classic degloving injury after HBC • Single layer ACell Vet applied 10/11/02
Dudley – Degloving Injury • Day 3 - initial formation of granulation bed apparent. ACell Vet reapplied. • Day 11 - excellent granulation bed and vascularization.
Dudley – Degloving Injury • Day 17 – progressing nicely • Day 30 – almost closed
Dudley – Degloving Injury • Day 66 – Wound barely visible and regrowth of hair proceeding nicely.
Classy • Wound was unresponsive to treatment for 2 years • Skin defect 12 x 14 cm. • Bone defect 10 x 7 cm. • Treated with ACell and surgery • 8 months later • Little scar
Study Abstract : Canine Joints • Jeff Wood, DVM • Arthritic Hip Controlled Study • 20 dogs • Study Length • 168 days • Single Injection • Effective for 6 months on treatment group • Effective up to 12 months in some dogs • No Adverse Effects
Regenerative Medicine • Cost Effective • Reduced Treatment Time • Easy to Use • Predictable Results • Better Healing…Naturally!
