Abstract

The clinical requirement for artificial graft materials to promote effective wound repair is large. Examples of chronic or extensive wounds include burn injuries, post traumatic skin and soft tissue defects, pressure sores (decubitus ulcers), diabetic skin ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, and defects arising following tumor excision. Especially, progress in burn care is dependent much on a suitable sophisticated skin substitute. The successful development of a permanent skin substitute will have a very strong impact on care of patients with serious burns.
