Facts About Skin Grafts
Many people may not realize it, but the skin is the largest organ in the human body. It is your body’s primary line of defense against infection and illness. Clearly, healthy skin is crucial to a healthy life, and it is vital in protecting your internal organs from injury. But if a surgical procedure or other traumatic event leaves your skin in disrepair, a skin graft or similar procedure may be necessary to fix this essential organ.
Not all skin graft procedures are the same. Doctors are increasingly choosing to use tissue matrices and other medical products to fix incisions and separations in a person’s skin. If AlloDerm was used in your medical procedure and resulted in the need for further surgery, you may deserve compensation for this product failure.

Skin Graft Complications
Your skin is very important to your everyday life. Any damage to this protective tissue can lead to serious health complications. Often, in cases of serious burns or injuries, a doctor may choose to use a transplant of a person’s own skin for treatment. But new medical products have been developed that do not require an autograft. AlloDerm is one of those products. However, if these products are defectively produced, they may fail and lead to serious complications such as:
- Painful soreness and swelling
- Abscesses
- Infection
- Need for further surgery
