Estimating the Number and Size of Sheets
Previous Previous | Next Next

Estimate the number of sheets of INTEGRA™ Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix you will need available using the following guidelines:

  • Determine the size of the area to be covered
  • Determine product size (e.g., 20x25cm)
  • Calculate the number of sheets by dividing the Surface Area by Sheet Area (e.g., 1750cm/500cm = 3.5 sheets)
  • Due to difficulties in estimating surface area and losses due to trimming, it is often advisable to allow for an additional 10% (e.g., 3.5 sheets x 1.10 = 3.85 Sheets)

Approximate surface area per sheet of INTEGRA™ Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix

2 x 2 inches = 25 sq. cm.
4 x 5 inches = 125 sq. cm.
4 x 10 inches = 250 sq. cm.
8 x 10 inches = 500 sq. cm.

Estimated number of INTEGRA™ Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix sheets needed per
adult anatomy


Face = 1-2, 8 x 10’s
Neck = 2-3, 4 x 10’s
Anterior trunk = 4, 8 x 10’s; 1-3, 4 x 10’s
Posterior trunk = 4-5, 8 x 10’s; 1-3, 4 x 10’s
Upper extremities = 3-4, 8 x 10’s; 1-4, 4 x 10’s
Buttocks = 2-4, 8 x 10’s
Lower extremities = 4-8, 8 x 10’s; 1-6, 4 x 10’s
Hands/feet = 1-3, 4 x 10’s; 1-3, 4 x 5’s
