Dermal Replacements in General, Burn, and Plastic Surgery

  • 1915 Accesses

Abstract

New generations of bioengineered dermal substitutes are being developed in the use for the treatment of burns (deep partial and full thickness). Other applications such as soft tissue replacement or coverage of chronic wounds with dermal substitutes were established. Recently these materials were used as suspensory materials or interpositional grafts in breast surgery.
