Abstract
Diversified grafts suitable for use in repair and reconstruction procedures are provided. Some diversified grafts comprise two or more heterogenous features which form regions having different preferred properties. A diversified graft useful for pre-pectoral breast reconstruction, meshing is provided on an upper pole of the diversified graft and a plurality of slits arranged in particular patterns is provided on a lower pole of the graft, whereby the upper pole has a greater expansion ability and the lower pole has lesser degree of expansion ability but maintains greater load bearing capacity which is necessary to support the lower pole of the breast undergoing reconstruction, while allowing for fluid egress. In other embodiments, the diversified graft comprises two or more components which are combined by attaching them to each other to form a larger graft of the required size. The components may be smaller pieces of the same material or different materials.
