ADM: A Brand-New Support Guide To Help You!

Communiqué

For optimal use of Acellular Dermal Matrices (ADMs)

ADMs play a key role in many surgical procedures, particularly in plastic and reconstructive surgery—especially in breast reconstruction—as well as in orthopedic surgery.

Over the past year, certain ADM products—including a new source—have been added to Héma-Québec’s human tissue catalog. To help surgical teams select the matrices best suited to their needs and clinical situations, Héma-Québec has developed a support guide in collaboration with its suppliers.

What you’ll find in the guide:

  • ADM product lines available in the Héma-Québec catalog
  • Comparison of clinical applications by product
  • Key features
  • Comparative summary table

This support guide is primarily intended for plastic and cosmetic surgeons, as well as surgical teams involved in the use of ADMs in reconstructive, general, or orthopedic surgery. It is designed to assist these teams in selecting the matrices best suited to their needs and to various clinical situations.

Héma-Québec continues to offer all of the products needed to treat Quebecers. Based on market demand and recommendations from the groups of specialists involved in this change, Héma-Québec established recommendations for the health and social services network about what products to add, remove or replace. As a result of its procurement strategy, some products have been replaced with equivalent products for quality assurance.

In 2021, Québec’s Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) mandated Héma-Québec to serve as the sole distributor of human tissue to Québec’s health and social services system. This decision was based on a recommendation of Québec’s biovigilance committee.

On December 2, 2024, Héma-Québec took over distribution of all human tissue products to Québec health care institutions.
