CLINICAL
Indications
For repair or replacement of damaged or inadequate integumental tissue, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, or for other homologous uses of human integument
FDA
Regulated under PHS 361 [21 CFR 1270 & 1271]: Human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products. Creates a unified registration and listing system for establishments that manufacture HCT/Ps and establishes donor eligibility, current good tissue practice, and other procedures to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases by HCT/Ps. Among other criteria, HCT/Ps are required to be minimally manipulated and intended for homologous use. Homologous use means the repair, reconstruction, replacement, or supplementation of a recipient’s cells or tissues with an HCT/P that performs the same basic function or functions in the recipient as in the donor. The basic functions of skin include covering, protecting the body from external force, and serving as a water-resistant barrier to pathogens or other damaging agents in the external environment. The dermis is the elastic connective tissue layer of the skin that covers, provides support and protects the body from mechanical stress. Human skin allografts used for supplemental support, protection, reinforcement, or covering for wounds, tendon, muscle, bones are considered homologous use. [1]
