Cut exclusively from the middle of the dermis, and with the thinnest dimensions available, Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis is one of the most pliable ADMs on the market.1
A greater degree of pliability
Dermis thickness is one of the characteristics that impacts the handling experience, such as pliability and conformability.1 A lower Drape Tissue Distance (DTD) score indicates a greater degree of pliability.
Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis demonstrated a greater degree of pliability and conformability than other leading ADMs.1
Standardized pliability drape test
Pliability is measured using a standardized drape test, with lower scores indicating a greater degree of pliability and conformity around the standardized block.

Uncompromised Strength
Middle dermis
Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis grafts are cut from a deeper layer of the dermis, without the basement membrane, to remove orientation and to support greater pliability.1
Surgical strength
The mechanical strength of Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis is comparable to other biomaterials used in surgery where mechanical strength is important.1,2,†
Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis results are relative to comparable biomaterials as reported in the literature and are not head-to-head.
Excellent conformability
Exceptional thickness tolerances and pliability allow Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis to conform more closely to contoured and complex surfaces, as seen in this image with FlexHD Pliable, Thin.1 Both are 4x12cm prepared per labeling.1
Exceptional intra-graft thickness consistency
Predictability is our focus. Cortiva Silhouette® allograft dermis grafts are precisely controlled to ± 0.125mm, measured every 2cm increment.1
