ABSTRACT:
An improved skin substitute is presented comprised of non-biological materials produced with a series of regularly-spaced pores and a nylon weave netting. The top component is a thin (approximately 0.001″ thick) silicone elastomer in which pore holes have been vacuum-pulled; physically attached to the silicone elastomer is a fine knitted nylon fabric (12/1, 15/1 denier); incorporated into the silicone
ylon structure are collagen peptides [about 10 micrograms per square centimeter of Porcine type 1—“the active component”] without cross-linking agent to enable a quick interaction with fibrin in the wound to achieve acute adherence. The vacuum-pulled holes provide a range of porosities to ensure minimum fluid accumulation beneath the skin substitute without wound desiccation. The range of hole diameters preferred in the present invention is 0.75 mm to 1.05 mm and at holes centered at ¼″-⅓″. Providing a structure that has better acute adherence and minimal fluid accumulation beneath the Temporary Skin Substitute, which will reduce infection complications and maximize wound healing. Larger pieces of this skin substitute can be made to cover larger wounds, unlike previous skin substitutes.
