How it Works
- Artificial skin is secured over wound during surgery
- The skin remains in place for several weeks and allows new tissue to grow in to bottom matrix layer
- Top layer provides protection from infection and dehydration
Benefits
- Protect skin from infection
- Keep in moisture to prevent dehydration
- Encourage healing through construction of new tissue by infiltration of epidermal cells and fibroblasts
- Allow for less severe scarring
- More readily available
Improvements
- Biodegradable skin
- Doesn’t need to be removed
- Slowly releasing antibiotic
- Prevents infection
- Re freeze dried artificial skin
- Easier storage and reconstitution
- Addition of epithelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor
- Increased regeneration of tissue
