Skin substitutes offer evolving solutions for burn surgery and chronic wound care, but limited adoption is hindered by cost and education barriers. This review explores current and emerging skin substitute technologies.

Area of Science:

  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Wound Healing
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • The application of skin substitutes in treating burns and chronic wounds is expanding with new product development.
  • Despite demonstrated effectiveness, widespread clinical use of skin substitutes remains limited.
  • Current practices in burn surgery predominantly rely on traditional skin grafts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of advancements in skin substitute technology.
  • To evaluate the performance of major commercially available skin substitutes.
  • To discuss emerging skin substitute technologies currently under development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current and emerging skin substitute products.
  • Analysis of clinical effectiveness and performance data for existing products.
