Comparison of Biomechanical Properties of Alloderm and Enduragen as Static Facial Sling Biomaterials

Background: Static slings are one of the most commonly used surgical rehabilitation methods in the management of chronic facial paralysis. Acellular human cadaveric dermis (Alloderm; Life Cell Corp., Branchburg, NJ) is used for this purpose; however, it has variable stretching properties that may necessitate additional “tuning‐up” procedure(s). Acellular porcine dermis (Enduragen; Tissue Sciences Laboratories, plc., Aldershot, U.K.) was recently introduced as a biologic implant and it is compositionally similar to Alloderm. However, no data currently exist regarding its biomechanical properties and potential use as an alternative implant to Alloderm in static facial sling procedures.
