Abstract
A new area of orthobiologics is biologic patches. These are acellular tissue grafts providing a regenerative tissue matrix. The biologic patch serves two functions: they reinforce the soft tissues during the healing process, and they provide a scaffold of collagen for cellular ingrowth. They are excellent alternatives to autografts, allografts, and synthetic materials.Mesh:
