The cryopreserved and lyophilized cultured allografts are comparable in healing rate, course of healing and relief of pain, and also in planimetric changes during the healing of venous leg ulcers. Lyophilized allografts are more convenient for routine use than cryopreserved allografts as they can be stored at room temperature. These results could give rise to the more frequent use of lyophilized allografts in slow-healing venous leg ulcers.
