ABSTRACT:
A homograft implant is made from prepackaged, processed homograft material. The homograft material is taken in its purchased dehydrated form and cut into strips of varying shapes and sized. The strips are then adhesively secured together in a laminar manner by a tissue adhesive to form the desired shape and density of the implant. Once the implant has been made, it may then be surgically implanted in a desired location, immediately beneath the patient's dermis so as to alter the exterior appearance of the patient at the implant site. Since the implant is formed of dehydrated homograft material, endogenous tissue readily attaches to the implant after a short period of time, so that the implant becomes integral with the body.
