Integra® Dermal
Regeneration Template, available in Meshed
and Non-Meshed configurations (Integra®
Template) is a bilayer membrane system
for skin replacement. The dermal replacement
layer is made of a porous matrix of fibers
of cross-linked bovine tendon collagen and
glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin-6-sulfate)
that is manufactured with a controlled porosity
and defined degradation rate. The epidermal
substitute layer is made of thin polysiloxane
(silicone) layer to control moisture loss
from the wound.

Benefits of
INTEGRA® Template include:
- The permanent regeneration of dermal skin
- Thinner skin grafts resulting in less scarring
at the donor site
- Faster healing donor sites
- Immediate physiological wound closure without
risking the loss of donor material
- Patients can begin rehabilitation with INTEGRA® Template in place
- No reports of rejection
- No immediate need to create donor site wounds
- Donor sites heal faster and can be harvested
more frequently
- Post excisional use of INTEGRA® Template does
not require the use of temporary
coverings such as allograft, xenograft or synthetic
dressings
These results have been
confirmed by frequent patient follow-ups over a
10-year period.
