Abstract:
The reaction of wounds up to 6 days old to the influence of six different temporary skin replacement materials was studied in rats. The histological work-up 1-7 days later showed material-dependent differences in wound reaction. The rate of adherence to the wound surface and the amount of granulation tissue, vascularization, and reepithelization was determinded. There is no ideal material; the special properties of each temporary skin substitute should be used according to the different surgical aims.
