A randomized single-blind controlled study of cultured epidermal allografts in the treatment of split-thickness skin graft donor sites

Effectiveness of collagen/oxidised regenerated cellulose/silver‐containing composite wound dressing for the treatment of medium‐depth split‐thickness skin graft donor site wounds in multi‐morbid patients: a prospective, non‐comparative, single‐centre study

“…In the Biobrane-covered areas, complete epithelialisation was observed after a mean of 13⋅4 days and in the wounds covered with CEA after a mean of 7⋅5 days (Table 2) (40,41). CEA were also used by Phillips et al in the treatment of superficial DSWs in nine patients (42). Half of the DSW area was treated with CEA, while the other half was covered with a non-adherent dressing.…”

Frozen Human Epidermal Allogeneic Cultures Promote Rapid Healing of Facial Dermabrasion Wounds

“…40 In controlled studies of donor sites, partial-thickness burns, and facial dermabrasion, reepithelization took place in 7-9 days with moist dressing of various types. 9,37,39,[41][42][43][44][45][46] Studies of chemical peels, dermabrasions, and laser skin resurfacing wounds treated with frequent changes of moist dressings and ointments showed reepithelization times of 7 and 10 days. 9,37,[46][47][48] We chose the dry dressing based on our experience with the advantages this simple dressing offers for wound management in the ambulatory patient.…”

Biologic Dressings

“…Complete healing was reported at 8.4 days for the allografted areas, compared with 15.3 days in the nonadherent dressing group. 108 A randomized controlled trial of 50 patients with chronic venous leg ulcers compared treatment with cryopreserved and lyophilized cultured epidermal allografts. At 3 months, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of completely healed ulcers in the cryopreserved group (84%) and the lyophilized group (80%).…”
