1. Autograft- A patient's own tissue - an autograft - can often be used for a surgical reconstruction procedure. Autograft tissue is the safest and fastest-healing tissue that can be used.
2. Allograft-
Allograft tissue, taken from another person, takes longer to incorporate into the recipient's body, but there is no second surgical site to heal.
3. Xenograft- A surgical graft of tissue from one species to an unlike species. A graft from a baboon to a human is a xenograft.
4. Isograft- Agraft of tissue between two individuals who are genetically identical
