Abstract:
Temporary cover of skin defects, using artificial material, cannot be a substitution for autologous material. Heterologous skin grafts may turn out to be sources of infection. A combination of artificial skin of collagen preparations with epithelial cell cultures is a new alternative to exclusive autologous transplantation. Only limited surfaces so far can be covered by means of epithelial cultures.
