The Use of a Permanent Dermal Allograft in Full-Thickness Burns of the Hand and Foot: A Report of Three Cases

Septal Perforation Repair With Acellular Human Dermal Allograft

“…The use of the acellular dermis with an ultrathin, overlying splitthickness skin graft (STSG) in current burn therapy provides sufficient dermis to reduce wound scarring and contracture and decreases the donor site healing time and morbidity. [8][9][10] An initial multicenter study documented that results obtained with acellular dermis and ultrathin STSG grafts were at least equal to those of standardthickness STSGs. 8 Currently, a second multicenter study is in progress to assess the long-term cosmetic and functional results of the acellular dermal graft and ultrathin STSG grafts in acute burn therapy, with additional centers studying the cosmetic and functional results of acellular dermis with reconstructive burn operations.…”

Macrophage phenotypes correspond with remodeling outcomes of various acellular dermal matrices

“…These products are all composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) but differ in species of origin, tissue source, processing methods and/or extent of chemical crosslinking. They have been used for a number of applications, first with burns [1,2], but more recently with cosmetic [3,4] and reconstructive procedures [5,6], notably breast reconstruction [7,8].…”

Rectovaginal Fistula Repair Utilizing a Cadaveric Dermal Allograft

“…Specifically, it has been used in burn victims for dermal grafting [3], soft tissue deficit correction [4] and closure of septal perforation [5]. After implantation the graft integrates into the surrounding tissue and undergoes remodeling, with little inflammatory response or absorption.…”
