INTEGRA® Dermal Regeneration Template is a two-layer skin regeneration system. The outer layer is made of a thin silicone film that acts as your skin's epidermis. It protects the wound from infection and controls both heat and moisture loss. The inner layer is constructed of a complex matrix of cross-linked fibers. This porous material acts as a scaffold for regenerating dermal skin cells, which enables the re-growth of a functional dermal layer of skin. Once dermal skin has regenerated, the silicone outer layer is removed and replaced with a thin epidermal skin graft. This completes the procedure and leaves you with flexible, growing skin.

This video illustrates the process of dermal regeneration from a full-thickness burn injury.

Benefits of INTEGRA Template include:

• The permanent regeneration of dermal skin
  
• Thinner skin grafts resulting in less scarring at the donor site
  
• Faster healing donor sites
  
• Immediate physiological wound closure without risking the loss of donor material
  
• Patients can begin rehabilitation with INTEGRA Template in place
  
• No reports of rejection
  
• No immediate need to create donor site wounds
  
• Donor sites heal faster and can be harvested more frequently
  
• Post excisional use of INTEGRA Template does not require the use of temporary
  coverings such as allograft, xenograft or synthetic dressings

These results have been confirmed by frequent patient follow-ups over a 10-year period.
