Alloplant is an experimental, chemically processed biomaterial used for transplantation. It is subjected to radiating sterilization and is being studied for possible regeneration of tissues of the recipient.
The primary advocate for alloplants is Russian surgeon Ernest Muldashev. In 2000, he claimed to have successfully transplanted a human eye into a blind woman using a harvested cornea and retina combined with an alloplant. The claim was widely rejected by the scientific and medical community. Although they avoid the use of the term "quack", doctors interviewed by The Guardian maintain that such transplants are medically impossible and not supported by peer-reviewed medical evidence.[1]
