1. A method of manufacturing an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) graft product for use in a reconstructive surgical procedure, the method comprising:
providing a portion of donor-derived skin, the portion of the donor-derived skin having a full thickness;
removing an epidermis layer and a fat layer from the portion of the donor-derived skin to form a portion of dermal tissue;
decellularizing the portion of the dermal tissue to form a portion of ADM graft material;
forming the portion of the ADM graft material into a pre-defined shape in anticipation of the reconstructive surgical procedure, and the forming the portion of the ADM graft material into the pre-defined shape comprises at least one of scoring and cutting the portion of the ADM graft material into a domed shape ADM graft;
verifying that a thickness of the pre-defined shape equals a specified thickness;
shaping the domed shape ADM graft to form an ADM graft pocket configured to receive a breast implant;
packaging the ADM graft pocket to form a packaged ADM graft pocket; and
irradiating the packaged ADM graft pocket to a sterility assurance level of a desired level to form the ADM graft product;
wherein the step of shaping the domed shape ADM graft to form the packaged ADM graft pocket includes suturing together semi-circular tissue portions of the domed shape ADM graft to form a pre-sutured ADM graft pocket.
