Abstract:
Seven patients underwent 2-stage skin grafting with bovine fetal collagen (BFC) as an initial wound cover. Split-thickness skin grafts were successfully placed on the wounds after completion of interval management. BFC proved to be a resilient acellular dermal matrix that could proceed to assimilation and skin grafting under a variety of wound conditions. BFC may prove to be a valuable material, as the role of acellular dermal matrices in skin grafting becomes better defined.
