Article Synopsis
- Dermal skin substitutes are commonly used in burn treatment, and this study aimed to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing wound contracture in full-thickness skin wounds on mice.
- Thirty-seven nude mice underwent surgery to create skin wounds, receiving either various dermal substitutes or no treatment (control group), with assessments conducted 28 days post-surgery.
- Results indicated that Alloderm and the acellular dermal matrix significantly reduced wound contracture, while all substitutes incorporated into the wound, but human-derived products showed superior healing compared to synthetic options.
