Placental Allografts
The placenta is a maternal-fetal organ that develops from the fetus and attaches to the uterus during pregnancy. The placenta is responsible for, among other things, providing the growing fetus with oxygen and nutrients while at the same time removing toxins.1 It also serves as a barrier between maternal and fetal compartments. Once the baby is born, the placenta detaches from the uterine wall and is expelled from the body. Placental tissue can be harvested after a healthy, concluded birth and then processed into a human, placental tissue allograft.
