Studies - Section Summary |

In this section,
you have learned:
- INTEGRA® Template can be used in a variety of burn applications
- In the first surgical procedure the
wound is excised to viable tissue and INTEGRA Template
is applied. Over the next 2-3 weeks, typically 14-28
days, the dermal layer is regenerated while simultaneously
degrading the collagen-GAG matrix. The biodegradable
template induces organized regeneration of normal dermal
tissue ("Neodermis") by the body. In the second
surgical procedure following dermal regeneration, the
silicone layer is removed and a thin epidermal autograft
0.004-0.006 inches (0.1016 - 0.1524 millimeters) is applied. As shown, engraftment
and confluence of the epidermal graft complete the process
in about 30 days from the first procedure.
