Repriza is a human skin allograft.
CLAIMED FEATURES: Implantable – It is an acellular dermal matrix created from dermal cadaver tissue. It is made by bursting the cells and stripping out the DNA and cell walls of the tissue so that it is rendered non-immunogenic. This allows the graft to be implanted in another person without being rejected. It maintains very strong tensile strength properties and can serve as a sling, support, or bolster in the body. Repriza Lite Promethean makes thinner Repriza grafts, Repriza Lites. The Repriza Lites maintain good tensile strength properties, and they are less expensive and have been effective when used in some breast augmentation cases and reconstructive cases following capsular contracture. Custom Shapes and Sizes. Extra Thick Grafts Promethean can make Extra Thick Repriza grafts for different indications.

Application of Skin Substitutes (also known as Cellular and/or Tissue Based Products) to certain wounds may help these wounds heal faster than conventional dressings and conservative treatments. Usually skin substitutes are used if conventional treatment has been tried for at least 30 days and the wound has not healed as quickly as expected. Human skin allografts are a type of skin substitute. They are made of skin donated by human donors that have had intact cells removed or treated to avoid immunologic rejection (a process in which the body of the person receiving the skin substitute kills the cells of the skin substitute).
