Abstract
The authors present two cases in which traumatic wounds in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) were successfully treated with a bioengineered skin equivalent (BSE) (Apligraf(R), Organogenesis, Canton, Massachusetts). Due to defects in collagen metabolism, it has been reported that patients with EDS have poor wound healing and unsightly scarring. Considering this, it is important to look into alternate ways to improve the healing. process while avoiding donor site morbidity. The authors have demonstrated, in these two cases, the successful use of BSE as an option for use in the healing of wounds in patients with this syndrome.
