| LASERSKIN, the
first biomaterial for tissue engineering to be approved by the European Union, has been
designed to allow the early grafting of actively proliferating keratinocytes. LASERSKIN is a trasparent,
biodegradable membrane, consisting entirely of an ester of Hyaluronic acid (HYAFF), one of
the major components of the extracellular matrix.
Thanks to its particular structure, with
orderly arrays of laser-drilled microperforations, LASERSKIN enables the
cultures to be grafted even before they have reached confluence.
The microperforation allow to transfer onto
the wound bed actively proliferating, preconfluent autologous keratinocytes, ready
to take and to ensure a rapid re-epithelialization. |
