Integra skin replacement system as you called it…is a treatment for a deep partial-thickness or full-thickness thermal injury to the skin. It serves 2 critical functions. It functionally closes the excised wounds immediately without the need to create donor site wounds.it functions as an "artificial skin" that provides immediate postexcisional wound homeostasis, facilitating patient recovery and relieving metabolic stress. And secondlyIt serves as a template to generate "neodermis," a dermal-like tissue that readily accepts very thin epidermal autografts. Formation of the neodermis typically takes 14-21 days and after the neodermis is formed, the silicone layer is easily removed and a very thin meshed and widely spread epidermal autograft can be applied over the neodermis. The cosmetic results are excellent. I hope it helps.
