Abstract

polyglactin mesh polyglycolic acid mesh Skin-substitute
The design of a skin-substitute must address the need for a dermal component, as this mesenchymally-derived tissue is important in maintaining the integrity and function of skin. An in vivo study was undertaken to assess the use of two biodegradable meshes, polyglycolic acid and polyglactin-910, as carriers for cultured human fibroblasts in a living dermal replacement. The consistent vascularization and epithelialization of these grafts placed on athymic mice showed that this has potential in re-creating the dermis in a skin-substitute.
