Soft Tissue Repair with Easy-Accessible Autologous Newborn Placenta or Umbilical Cord Blood in Severe Malformations: A Primary Evaluation

Table 1

Components of the two studied constructs.

Amnion-SIS constructs	PRGF-SIS constructs
Amnion from term placenta collected from healthy donors undergoing elective caesarean section	Term umbilical cord blood collected from healthy donors was used for isolation of the following:
	(i) Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF)
	(ii) Mononuclear cells (MNC)
Commercially available 4-layer small intestine submucosa (SIS) that consists of cell-free porcine extracellular matrix, mainly collagen	Commercially available 4-layer small intestine submucosa (SIS) that consists of cell-free porcine extracellular matrix, mainly collagen
The components were combined by suturing the amnion onto the SIS.	The components were combined by the following:
	(1) Mixing MNC with PRGF
	(2) Casting the MNC-PRGF gel onto SIS
