Innovative solutions MTF Biologics will highlight at The Aesthetic Meeting, include:
- Renuva®: An allograft adipose matrix that conveniently treats small volume soft tissue defects in the face, breast and body. An alternative to fat grafting, Renuva is made from donated human adipose, or fat. It is produced from the highest quality tissue and gives patients the same benefits as fat grafting without the need for liposuction. A natural injection that does not require general anesthesia, Renuva can be administered in a doctor's office.
Renuva will be presented by Dr. Haideh Hirmand at Hot Topics on Friday, May 17 at 1 p.m., and by Dr. Barbara Hayden on Sunday, May 19 at 10:30 a.m.
- Meso BioMatrix®: A strong, thin xenograft tissue form for plastic and reconstructive surgery that offers surgeons a new option for patients requiring soft tissue repair and/or reinforcement such as suture line reinforcement and muscle flap reinforcement.
- Profile®: A pre-shaped, costal cartilage allograft, Profile is used in rhinoplasty procedures. It allows surgeons to avoid having to perform additional surgery to obtain cartilage from a patient's ear or rib, leading to less post-operative pain and scarring. Because Profile is made from human tissue, it is natural to the patient's own body, which means fewer chances of infection or extrusion than synthetic implants.
Profile Costal Cartilage, Renuva and Meso Biomatrix will be featured in the Modern Techniques in Rhinoplasty Cadaver Workshop on Friday, May 17 at 2 p.m.
- LipoGrafter®: LipoGrafter is a practical fat grafting solution designed for better graft survival. The easy-to-use technology offers surgeons a safe and efficient way to harvest a patient's fat and deliver it in areas where the patient may require or seek additional volume.
