چکیده
Bio-engineered skin and soft tissue substitutes may be either acellular or cellular. Acellular products (eg, dermis with cellular material removed) contain a matrix or scaffold composed of materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin. The various acellular dermal matrix products can differ in a number of ways, including as species source (human, bovine, porcine), tissue source (eg dermis, pericardium, intestinal mucosa), additives (eg antibiotics, surfactants), hydration (wet, freeze dried) and required preparation (multiple rinses, rehydration).

Bio-engineered skin and soft tissue substitutes may be either acellular or cellular. Acellular products (i.e., cadaveric human dermis with cellular material removed) contain a matrix or scaffold composed of materials such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin. Cellular products contain living cells such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes within a matrix. The cells contained within the mat...

When Policy Topic is covered Breast reconstructive surgery using allogeneic acellular dermal matrix products* (i.e., AlloDerm®, AlloMaxTM, DermaMatrixTM, FlexHD®, GraftJacket®) may be considered medically necessary, when there is insufficient tissue expander or implant coverage by the pectoralis major muscle and additional coverage is required, when there is viable but compromised or thin p...
متن کاملEngineered skin substitutes: practices and potentials.
Wound healing can be problematic in several clinical settings because of massive tissue injury (burns), wound healing deficiencies (chronic wounds), or congenital conditions and diseases. Engineered skin substitutes have been developed to address the medical need for wound coverage and tissue repair. Currently, no engineered skin substitute can replace all of the functions of intact human skin....
متن کاملImmunological challenges associated with artificial skin grafts: available solutions and stem cells in future design of synthetic skin
The repair or replacement of damaged skins is still an important, challenging public health problem. Immune acceptance and long-term survival of skin grafts represent the major problem to overcome in grafting given that in most situations autografts cannot be used. The emergence of artificial skin substitutes provides alternative treatment with the capacity to reduce the dependency on the incre...
متن کاملDeep and superficial keloid fibroblasts contribute differentially to tissue phenotype in a novel in vivo model of keloid scar.
BACKGROUND Keloids are thick fibrous scars that are refractory to treatment and unique to humans. The lack of keloid animal models has hampered development of effective therapies. The authors' goal was to develop an animal model of keloids using grafted engineered skin substitutes composed of keloid-derived cells. To demonstrate the model's utility, differences between deep and superficial kelo...
