Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported consolidated statements of operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of MiMedx Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MiMedx, Inc., SpineMedica, LLC, and MiMedx Tissue Services, LLC, formerly known as Surgical Biologics, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Segment Reporting
	ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has determined it has one operating segment.  Disaggregation of the Company’s operating results is impracticable, because the Company’s research and development activities and its assets overlap, and management reviews its business as a single operating segment.  Thus, discrete financial information is not available for more than one operating segment.
	Market Concentrations and Credit Risk
	The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States.  In July 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) increased coverage to $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $44,600,000 in excess of the insured amounts.
	The Company’s principal market concentration of risk is related to its limited distribution channels.  The Company's revenues include the distribution efforts of several independent companies as well as the Company's internal sales force. Significant revenues are derived from its relationship with one of its distributors, AvKare, Inc. which sells our products to the Federal government. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, AvKare revenue was 34%, 56%, and 40% of total revenue, respectively. Related receivables for the same time periods were 33%, 55%, and 53%, of total accounts receivable, respectively.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and FDIC insured certificates of deposit held at various banks with an original maturity of three months or less.
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized.  Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
	Investments
	Investments include FDIC insured certificates of deposit held at various banks and are classified as either Short term investments or Investments depending on their maturity date and are valued at cost, which approximates market value.
	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first–in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Inventory is tracked through Raw Material, WIP, and Finished Good stages as the product progresses through various production steps and stocking locations. Labor and overhead costs are absorbed through the various production processes upon work order closes. Historical yields and normal capacities are utilized in the calculation of production overhead rates.  Reserves for inventory obsolescence are utilized to account for slow-moving inventory as well as inventory no longer needed due to diminished market demand.
	Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company reviews goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually at the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale of disposition of a significant portion of the business. The Company first assesses certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a two-step quantitative impairment testing. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of the Company to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value utilizing the market approach. Under the market approach, the Company uses its market capitalization which is calculated by taking the Company’s share price times the number of outstanding shares. If the fair value of the Company exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the Company’s value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the Company was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
	Impairment of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives
	The Company reviews purchased intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable using a two-step impairment test. In step one, we determine the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets based on management's estimates and compare it to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount is greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, then the asset is impaired and step two is required. In step two, the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets and the carrying value of the assets.
	Impairment reviews are based on an estimated future cash flow approach that requires significant judgment with respect to future revenue and expense growth rates, selection of appropriate discount rate, asset groupings, and other assumptions and estimates. The Company uses estimates that are consistent with our business plans and a market participant view of the assets being evaluated. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company chose to discontinue the HydroFix® product line. This action resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $368,000 related to the Licenses for SaluMedica LLC, Spine Repair and Polyvinyl Alcohol Cryogel. This item is included in our Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. An impairment charge of approximately $1,800,000 had previously been booked in 2012.
	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or the life of the lease. The Company is party to various lease arrangements for its facility space and equipment. These arrangements include interest, scheduled rent increases and rent holidays which are included in the determination of minimum lease payments when assessing lease classification, and are included in rent expense on a straight line basis over the lease term. See Notes 7 and 17 for further information regarding capital leases, operating leases and rent expense.
	Patent Costs
	The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications for tissue based products and processes. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company. The Company capitalized approximately $594,000 of patent costs during 2014 and approximately $689,000 of patent costs during 2013. There were no patent costs capitalized in 2012.
	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets (property and equipment) whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than previously anticipated.  If the net book value of the related assets exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company chose to discontinue the HydroFix® product line. This action resulted in a disposal loss of approximately $30,000. This item is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, as Selling, General and Administrative expenses.
	Grant Income
	The Company received a Regional Economic Business Assistance ("REBA") grant in the amount of $250,000 from the State of Georgia to help the Company defray certain expenses and capital expenditures related to the Company's expansion of manufacturing activities in the State.  In order to retain the grant monies the Company was required to add a certain number of full time positions and spend a certain amount on capital and operations expenditures by December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had satisfied the grant requirements. Accordingly, the Company recorded the $250,000 as a reduction of Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying 2013 Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants and Beneficial Conversion Features
	According to ASC470-20 "Debt With Conversion and Other Options", proceeds from the sale of convertible debt instruments with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based upon the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance.  The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital.  The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction.  Also, the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company sells its products primarily through a combination of a direct sales force, independent stocking distributors and third - party representatives in the U.S. and independent distributors in international markets.  The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance.  In cases where the Company utilizes distributors or ships products directly to the end user, it recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the agreement provided all revenue recognition criteria have been met.  A portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from inventory maintained at hospitals or with field representatives.  For these products, revenue is recognized at the time the product has been used or implanted.  The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.
	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with the development of the Company’s technologies.  These costs are expensed as incurred.
	Income Taxes
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that included the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when the recoverability of such assets is not deemed more likely than not.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process.  The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination.  If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.  The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company classifies gross interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the process stated above, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2014.
	Share-based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its share- based compensation plans in accordance with FASB ASC topic 718 “Compensation- Stock compensation”. FASB ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock and warrants. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, and U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award (generally the vesting period of the award).
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature and type of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short term investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying cost of the Company’s investments also reflects their fair values due to the type of these investments and the fair value of capital leases approximates its carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company records certain financial instruments at fair value, including: cash equivalents, short term investments and investments.  The Company may make an irrevocable election to measure other financial instruments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis; although as of December 31, 2014, the Company has not chosen to make any such elections.  Fair value financial instruments are recorded in accordance with the fair value measurement framework.
	The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These non-recurring valuations include evaluating assets such as long-lived assets, and non-amortizing intangible assets for impairment; allocating value to assets in an acquired asset group, and accounting for business combinations.  The Company uses the fair value measurement framework to value these assets and reports these fair values in the periods in which they are recorded or written down.
	The fair value measurement framework includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair values in their broad levels.  These levels from highest to lowest priority are as follows:
	•	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation techniques that are used when little or no market data is available.
	The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy require judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.  Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions.  Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used.  Such assumptions could include: estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods.  The Company may also engage external advisors to assist it in determining fair value, as appropriate.
	Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of its financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) that requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein and requires expanded disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements. All other ASUs issued effective and not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2014, and through the date of this report, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

	Senior Secured Promissory Notes
	From December 27 to December 31, 2011, the Company sold 5% Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to individual accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $5,000,000.  The aggregate proceeds included $500,000 of Notes sold to the Company’s Chairman of the Board and CEO.  In total, the principal of the Notes were convertible into up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) plus accrued but unpaid interest at $1.00 per share at any time upon the election of the holder of the note.
	In conjunction with the sale of the Notes, the Company incurred a placement fee of $32,800 and issued 42,400 common stock warrants to the placement agents at an exercise price of $1.09 per share.  The warrants expire in December 2016.  The fair value of the warrants was determined to be approximately $15,000 using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique.  The total direct costs of approximately $47,800 were recorded as deferred financing costs and were amortized over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method.  Further, the placement agent warrants are classified in stockholders’ equity because they achieved all of the requisite conditions for equity classification in accordance with GAAP.
	During the months of January and February 2013, all holders of the Notes converted their interest in this obligation to shares of MiMedx common stock.  The total amount of debt plus accrued interest that was exchanged was approximately $5,272,000.  In conjunction with this exchange, approximately 5,272,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in full satisfaction of this obligation.  Included in this total are 532,260 shares representing the Chief Executive Officer’s conversion of his Note.  This also resulted in the acceleration of amortization of debt discount and total interest expense of approximately $1,328,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 and approximately $1,714,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

	Unvested at December 31, 2014	7,193,577			$	3.08
	Total unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2014, was approximately $15,084,000 and will be charged to expense ratably through December 2017.
	The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, expected term, and the risk-free interest rate.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of peer companies and other factors estimated over the expected term of the options.  The term of employee options granted is derived using the “simplified method” which computes expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity. The simplified method was used due to the Company’s lack of sufficient historical data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded.  The term for non-employee options is generally based upon the contractual term of the option.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period of the expected term or contractual term as described.
	The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:
		Year ended December 31,
		2014			2013			2012
	Expected volatility	58.14 - 64.5%			61.41 - 64.77%			45.7 - 64.3%

	Expected dividend yield	—			—			—
	Risk-free interest rate	1.64 - 1.96%			0.85 - 1.88%			0.62 - 1.77%
	The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014 , 2013 and 2012 were approximately $4.18 , $3.08 and $1.07, respectively.
	Restricted Stock Awards
	Following is summary information for restricted stock awards for the years ended 2014 and 2013. Shares vest over a one to three year period. As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $6,637,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation related to time-based, non-vested restricted stock.  That expense is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
	Additionally, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, 8,411 shares of common stock valued at approximately $70,000 were issued under the 2006 Plan to a consultant in return for services performed.

Warrants
From time to time the Company has granted common stock warrants in connection with equity share purchases by investors as an additional incentive for providing long - term equity capital to the Company and as additional compensation to consultants and advisors.  The warrants were granted at negotiated prices in connection with the equity share purchases and at the market price of the common stock in other instances.  The warrants were issued for terms of five years.
Common Stock warrants activity and resulting balances for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
	Number of			Weighted-
	Warrants			Average
				Exercise
				Price per
				Warrant
Warrants outstanding at January 1, 2014	1,284,816			$	0.9
Warrants exercised	(1,242,416	)		$	0.9
Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2014	42,400			$	1.09
Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part by:
•	notice given by the holder accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the warrant exercise price multiplied by the number of warrant shares being purchased; or
•	if permitted by the applicable warrant election by the holder to exchange the warrant (or portion thereof) for that number of shares equal to the product of (a) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant (or portion) and (b) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the market price of the shares at the time of exercise minus the warrant exercise price per share at the time of exercise and (y) the denominator of which is the market price per share at the time of exercise.
These warrants are not mandatorily redeemable, and do not obligate the Company to repurchase its equity shares by transferring assets or issuing a variable number of shares.
The warrants require that the Company deliver shares as part of a physical settlement or, if permitted by the applicable warrant a net-share settlement, at the option of the holder, and do not provide for a net-cash settlement.
All of the Company's warrants are classified as equity as of December 31, 2014 and expire in December of 2016.
Treasury Stock
On May 12, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $10,000,000 of its common stock from time to time, through December 31, 2014. On December 12, 2014, the Board extended this program until December 31, 2015. On January 5, 2015, the Board increased the authorization under the program to $20,000,000. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will depend upon the Company's stock price, economic and market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other corporate considerations. The Company may initiate, suspend or discontinue purchases under the stock repurchase program at any time.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company purchased approximately 940,000 shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,600,000. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $4,400,000 remaining under the repurchase program.

	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
	Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands):
		December 31,
		2014				2013
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities:
	Accruals and prepaids	$	3,563			$	1,404

	The reconciliation of the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to the effective rate is as follows:
		December 31,
		2014			2013
	Federal statutory rate	34	%		34	%
	State taxes, net of federal benefit	9.58	%		(2.48	)%
	Non deductible compensation	5.59	%		—	%
	Meals & entertainment	5.55	%		—	%
	Stock based compensation - ISO	21.73	%		—	%
	Other	(5.92	)%		12.73	%
	Valuation allowance	(58.73	)%		(46.73	)%
		11.8	%		(2.48	)%
	Income taxes are based on estimates of the annual effective tax rate and evaluations of possible future events and transactions and may be subject to subsequent refinement or revision.
	Certain items of income and expense are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of such temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by the amount of any tax benefit that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized. The Company establishes a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. At December 31, 2014, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $16,158,000 recorded against the benefit of certain deferred tax assets. In assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, we analyzed all evidence, both positive and negative. The Company considered, among other things, our deferred tax liabilities, our historical earnings and losses, projections of future income, and tax-planning strategies available to us in the relevant jurisdiction.
	As a result of anticipated profitability for the year and positive trends in the foreseeable future, the Company may release all or a portion of this valuation allowance by the end of 2015. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance released are subject to change based on the level of profitability that the Company is able to actually achieve for the year and its visibility into future period results. The potential release of this valuation allowance during 2015 would have a material impact on the Company's recorded tax expense in the period of reversal. The Company will release this valuation allowance when management determines that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax asset will be realized.
	At December 31, 2014, the Company has income tax net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards for federal and state purposes of approximately $15,323,000 and approximately $21,196,000, respectively. The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for both federal and state income taxes of approximately $5,210,000 and approximately $1,172,000, respectively. If not utilized, the federal and state tax loss carry forwards will expire between 2026 and 2031.
	As a result of certain realization requirements of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown above does not include certain deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, that arose directly from (or the use of which was postponed by) tax deductions related to equity compensation that are greater than the compensation recognized for financial reporting. Equity will be increased by approximately $5,676,000 if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized. The Company uses ASC 740 ordering when determining when excess tax benefits have been realized.
	The Company's net operating losses and credits are subject to annual limitations due to ownership change limitations provided by Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company has performed an analysis and determined that the limitation exceeds the utilization of NOLs in the current year and does not anticipate much limitation going forward.
	In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation 48 (codified primarily in ASC 740), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with Statement 109 (codified primarily in ASC 740). Interpretation 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of Interpretation 48 and in subsequent periods. As a result of the implementation, the Company has analyzed its tax positions and determined that no reserve is necessary at this time.
	The Company is subject to taxation in the US and various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s tax years for 2011, 2012 and 2013 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31, 2014, the Company is generally no longer subject to US federal, state, or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011.

	FDA Untitled Letter and Related Litigation
	Initially, MiMedx processed its tissue allografts in only one form, which was a sheet form. In 2011, MiMedx introduced a micronized form of its sheet allografts.
	The FDA has specific regulations governing human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue-based products, or HCT/Ps. An HCT/P is a product containing or consisting of human cells or tissue intended for transplantation into a human patient. If an HCT/P meets the criteria for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (so-called “361 HCT/Ps”), no FDA review for safety and effectiveness under a drug, device, or biological product marketing application is required.
	MiMedx believes that all of its tissue products qualify as 361 HCT/Ps. On August 28, 2013, however, the FDA issued an Untitled Letter alleging that the Company’s micronized allografts do not meet the criteria for regulation solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and that, as a result, MiMedx would need a biologics license to lawfully market the micronized products.
	In November 2013, the FDA clarified the basis for its position regarding the micronized products. Specifically, the FDA explained its belief that “[c]ryo-milling cut, dehydrated amniotic/chorionic membrane results in a micron-sized powder and the loss of the tensile strength and elasticity that are essential characteristics of the original amniotic/chorionic tissue relating to its utility to function as a ‘physical membrane’ (i.e. covering, barrier).” The Company responded to the FDA that while it does not agree with the FDA’s position, it understands the FDA’s interest in further regulating this emerging technology. Accordingly, the Company proposed to the FDA that it would pursue the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) and Biologics License Application (“BLA”) process for certain micronized products, and, in parallel, also proposed to enter into negotiations with the FDA on a plan to transition the micronized products to licensed biological products and continue to market the micronized products under specific conditions.
	On July 22, 2014, the Company filed its first IND application with the FDA. The application was allowed, paving the way for a Phase IIB clinical trial of its micronized product for a specified indication of use in anticipation of a BLA, which the Company expects to submit at a future date.  The clinical trial is expected to enroll approximately 150 patients in 10 - 20 clinical sites in the U.S. The Company anticipates initiating the trial in the first half of 2015.
	The Company also requested a transition agreement to allow it to continue to market its current micronized products for certain specified uses while pursuing one or more BLAs. The Agency continues to assert that the current form of the Company’s micronized products are more than minimally manipulated and therefore are not eligible for marketing solely under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act. The Company has conducted tests and has engaged independent laboratories to conduct tests that confirm that tensile strength and modulus of elasticity are not diminished by the process used by the Company to create its micronized products.
	On December 22, 2014, the FDA issued for comment “Draft Guidance for Industry: Minimal Manipulation of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products.” Essentially the draft guidance takes the same position with respect to micronized amniotic tissue that it took in the Untitled Letter to MiMedx 16 months earlier.
	The period for submitting comments on the Draft Guidance expired on February 23, 2015. The Company has submitted comments to the Draft Guidance asserting that the Draft Guidance represents agency action that goes far beyond FDA’s statutory authority, is inconsistent with existing HCT/ P regulations and FDA’s prior positions as well as internally inconsistent and is scientifically unsound. Additionally, the Company asked the FDA to allow MiMedx to continue to market its micronized products until the guidance or regulations as the case may be have been fully vetted through a process of notice and comment rule making. Preliminarily, FDA has indicated that it intends to issue for comment Draft Guidance on homologous use later this year and that industry and other interested parties will have an opportunity to comment on both guidance documents as a whole at that time.
	If the FDA does allow the Company to continue to market a micronized form of its sheet allografts either prior to or after finalization of the Draft Guidance, it may impose conditions, such as labeling restrictions and compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”). It is also possible that the FDA will not allow the Company to market any form of a micronized product without a biologics license even prior to finalization of the Draft Guidance and could even require the Company to recall its micronized products. Revenues from micronized products comprised approximately 14% of the Company's revenues in 2014.
	Following the publication of the Untitled Letter from the FDA regarding the Company’s micronized products in September 2013, the trading price of the Company’s stock dropped sharply and several purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain of its executive officers asserting violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to various statements and alleged omissions related to the Company’s belief that its products were 361 HCT/Ps, including its micronized products. These cases have now all been removed to, and consolidated in, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. By order dated December 9, 2013, the Court approved the appointment of a lead plaintiff and a lead counsel. A Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, containing substantially the same causes of action and claims for relief as the initial complaints, was filed on January 27, 2014. The case is currently in the discovery phase. The Company currently believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
	Other Shareholder Litigation
	On February 19, 2015, one of the law firms that filed one of the class action lawsuits referenced above filed a separate purported class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its executive officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The suit alleges violations of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to various statements and alleged omissions related to the Company’s receipt of a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG. The subpoena is discussed in more detail below. The Company has not yet been served in the lawsuit. If and when it is served, the Company intends to vigorously defend the suit. Currently, the Company believes that the outcome of this litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
	Patent Litigation
	On April 22, 2014, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Liventa Bioscience, Inc. ("Liventa"), Medline Industries, Inc. ("Medline") and Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation, Inc. ("MTF") for permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. In addition to the allegations of infringement of certain of MiMedx's patents, the lawsuit asserts that Liventa and Medline knowingly and willfully made false and misleading representations about their respective products to providers, patients, and in some cases, prospective investors. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. In the suit, MiMedx asserts that Liventa (formerly known as AFCell Medical, Inc.), Medline and MTF infringed and continue to infringe certain of the Company’s patents relating to the MiMedx dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane ("dHACM") allografts. MTF is the processor and Liventa and Medline are the distributors of the allegedly infringing products. On May 30, 2014, the defendants filed answers to the Complaint, denying the allegations in the Complaint. They also raised affirmative defenses of non-infringement, invalidity, laches and estoppel. MTF and Medline also filed counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity. On May 16, 2014, the Company also filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Transplant Technology, Inc. d/b/a Bone Bank Allografts (“Bone Bank”) and Texas Human Biologics, Ltd. (“Biologics”) for permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. This lawsuit similarly asserts that Bone Bank and Biologics infringed certain of the Company’s patents through the manufacturing and sale of tissue graft products. The defendants have denied the allegations in the Complaint. They also have raised affirmative defenses of non-infringement and invalidity and filed counterclaims seeking declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity. The lawsuits currently are in the discovery and claim construction phases. In addition to defending the pending district court litigations, to avoid the high burden of proof required to prove invalidity of our patent claims in the district court litigation, the defendants have filed several requests for inter-partes review by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board seeking to invalidate some of our patent claims.
	On March 2, 2015, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Nutech Medical, Inc. (“Nutech”) and DCI Donor Services, Inc. (“DCI”) for permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages.  This lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.  The lawsuit alleges that Nutech and DCI have infringed and continue to infringe MiMedx’s patents through the manufacture, use , sale, and/or offering of their tissue graft product.  The lawsuit also asserts that Nutech knowingly and willfully made false and misleading representations about its products to customers and/or prospective customers.
	OIG Subpoena
	In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received a subpoena from the Office of Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG, in connection with a civil investigation into matters primarily related to the Company's sales and marketing activities. This Company is cooperating fully with the government in its investigation, and has produced numerous responsive documents.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported consolidated statements of operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of MiMedx Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MiMedx, Inc., SpineMedica, LLC, and MiMedx Tissue Services, LLC, formerly known as Surgical Biologics, LLC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting
	ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.  The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has determined it has one operating segment.  Disaggregation of the Company’s operating results is impracticable, because the Company’s research and development activities and its assets overlap, and management reviews its business as a single operating segment.  Thus, discrete financial information is not available for more than one operating segment.
Market Concentrations and Credit Risk	Market Concentrations and Credit Risk
	The Company places its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the United States.  In July 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) increased coverage to $250,000 for substantially all depository accounts. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $44,600,000 in excess of the insured amounts.
	The Company’s principal market concentration of risk is related to its limited distribution channels.  The Company's revenues include the distribution efforts of several independent companies as well as the Company's internal sales force. Significant revenues are derived from its relationship with one of its distributors, AvKare, Inc. which sells our products to the Federal government.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and FDIC insured certificates of deposit held at various banks with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized.  Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
Investments	Investments
	Investments include FDIC insured certificates of deposit held at various banks and are classified as either Short term investments or Investments depending on their maturity date and are valued at cost, which approximates market value.
Inventories	Inventories
	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first–in, first-out (FIFO) method.  Inventory is tracked through Raw Material, WIP, and Finished Good stages as the product progresses through various production steps and stocking locations. Labor and overhead costs are absorbed through the various production processes upon work order closes. Historical yields and normal capacities are utilized in the calculation of production overhead rates.  Reserves for inventory obsolescence are utilized to account for slow-moving inventory as well as inventory no longer needed due to diminished market demand.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
	Goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company reviews goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually at the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Potential impairment indicators include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, and the sale of disposition of a significant portion of the business. The Company first assesses certain qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company was less than its carrying amount. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company were to determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount, then the Company would perform a two-step quantitative impairment testing. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of the Company to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value utilizing the market approach. Under the market approach, the Company uses its market capitalization which is calculated by taking the Company’s share price times the number of outstanding shares. If the fair value of the Company exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the Company is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the Company’s value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the Company was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss.
Impairment of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives	Impairment of Intangible Assets with Finite Lives
	The Company reviews purchased intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable using a two-step impairment test. In step one, we determine the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the assets based on management's estimates and compare it to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount is greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, then the asset is impaired and step two is required. In step two, the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the assets and the carrying value of the assets.
	Impairment reviews are based on an estimated future cash flow approach that requires significant judgment with respect to future revenue and expense growth rates, selection of appropriate discount rate, asset groupings, and other assumptions and estimates. The Company uses estimates that are consistent with our business plans and a market participant view of the assets being evaluated. Actual results may differ from our estimates.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally three to seven years.  Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or the life of the lease. The Company is party to various lease arrangements for its facility space and equipment. These arrangements include interest, scheduled rent increases and rent holidays which are included in the determination of minimum lease payments when assessing lease classification, and are included in rent expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Patent Costs	Patent Costs
	The Company incurs certain legal and related costs in connection with patent applications for tissue based products and processes. The Company capitalizes such costs to be amortized over the expected life of the patent to the extent that an economic benefit is anticipated from the resulting patent or alternative future use is available to the Company.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets	Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets (property and equipment) whenever adverse events or changes in business climate indicate that the expected undiscounted future cash flows from the related assets may be less than previously anticipated.  If the net book value of the related assets exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets, the carrying amount would be reduced to the present value of their expected future cash flows and an impairment loss would be recognized.
Grant Income	Grant Income
	The Company received a Regional Economic Business Assistance ("REBA") grant in the amount of $250,000 from the State of Georgia to help the Company defray certain expenses and capital expenditures related to the Company's expansion of manufacturing activities in the State.  In order to retain the grant monies the Company was required to add a certain number of full time positions and spend a certain amount on capital and operations expenditures by December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had satisfied the grant requirements. Accordingly, the Company recorded the $250,000 as a reduction of Selling, General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying 2013 Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants and Beneficial Conversion Features	Debt Instruments with Detachable Warrants and Beneficial Conversion Features
	According to ASC470-20 "Debt With Conversion and Other Options", proceeds from the sale of convertible debt instruments with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based upon the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance.  The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital.  The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction.  Also, the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company sells its products primarily through a combination of a direct sales force, independent stocking distributors and third - party representatives in the U.S. and independent distributors in international markets.  The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance.  In cases where the Company utilizes distributors or ships products directly to the end user, it recognizes revenue according to the shipping terms of the agreement provided all revenue recognition criteria have been met.  A portion of the Company’s revenue is generated from inventory maintained at hospitals or with field representatives.  For these products, revenue is recognized at the time the product has been used or implanted.  The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with the development of the Company’s technologies.  These costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that included the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are recorded for deferred tax assets when the recoverability of such assets is not deemed more likely than not.
Uncertain Tax Positions	Uncertain Tax Positions
	Tax positions are evaluated in a two-step process.  The Company first determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination.  If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.  The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company classifies gross interest and penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on the process stated above, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2014.
Share-based Compensation	Share-based Compensation
	The Company accounts for its share- based compensation plans in accordance with FASB ASC topic 718 “Compensation- Stock compensation”. FASB ASC 718 requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including employee stock options, restricted stock and warrants. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, and U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 107, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award (generally the vesting period of the award).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature and type of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short term investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying cost of the Company’s investments also reflects their fair values due to the type of these investments and the fair value of capital leases approximates its carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company records certain financial instruments at fair value, including: cash equivalents, short term investments and investments.  The Company may make an irrevocable election to measure other financial instruments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis; although as of December 31, 2014, the Company has not chosen to make any such elections.  Fair value financial instruments are recorded in accordance with the fair value measurement framework.
	The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These non-recurring valuations include evaluating assets such as long-lived assets, and non-amortizing intangible assets for impairment; allocating value to assets in an acquired asset group, and accounting for business combinations.  The Company uses the fair value measurement framework to value these assets and reports these fair values in the periods in which they are recorded or written down.
	The fair value measurement framework includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair values in their broad levels.  These levels from highest to lowest priority are as follows:
	•	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities or observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
	•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs or valuation techniques that are used when little or no market data is available.
	The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy require judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.  Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions.  Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used.  Such assumptions could include: estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods.  The Company may also engage external advisors to assist it in determining fair value, as appropriate.
	Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of its financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs"). In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue Recognition - Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09) that requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and interim periods therein and requires expanded disclosures. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements. All other ASUs issued effective and not yet effective for the year ended December 31, 2014, and through the date of this report, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
