Simultaneous coverage of full thickness burn wounds with Matriderm® dermal substitute and split thickness skin grafting

Lyophilized xenogenic products for skin replacement

“…Even more important is the purported idea that since it is not a synthetic prosthesis, and therefore not a foreign body, removal is not necessitated if infection occurs. 24 An Austrian group evaluated Matriderm ® for use as a dermal substitute in ten patients with severe hand burns and found that in a one stage procedure, there was a 97% graft take, with great pliability, range of motion and lack of hypertrophic scars. Recent comparisons to other xenogenic products have been favorable, although there are isolated reports of inflammatory reactions.…”

“…Die VSS ist jedoch gerade für die Beurteilung von Verbrennungsnarben umstritten [10]. Eine klinische Untersuchung an 14 Patienten mit teils tief zweitgradigen, teils drittgradigen Brandverletzungen unterschiedlicher Lokalisation konnten wir selbst beisteuern [6]: Auch bei Deckung großer Wundflächen bis 2500 cm 2…”

Evaluation of keratin templates on dermal regeneration of full-thickness burns

“…Once excision is completed, dermal substitutes are used as skin substitutes to protect the excised area, reduce fluid loss and metabolic demand, as well as enhance re-epithelialisation [5,87]. Once the wound bed has shown viable granulation, split-thickness skin grafts with epidermal components are then applied to the wound bed to speed up the wound healing process while reducing wound scarring [97]. A tangential excision can be performed on the wound (left) to retain as much of the healthy dermis as possible, which is followed by a medium split-thickness skin graft (STSG).…”
