In all cases where spontaneous and effective epithelialization does not occur, such as for full-thickness and/or extensive burns, wound closure requires surgical intervention, by means of excision of burned skin and subsequent grafting.[7] Autograft is still the best option for skin replacement, but is practically challenged, in some cases, by the unavailability of donor sites and the critical conditions of the patient. Although the Meek technique[58] can be applied to enlarge the effective surface area covered by autologous split thickness skin grafts, the yielded expansion ratio (1:9) might still be too low for the treatment of extensive burns. Other limitations of autograft deal with the co-morbidity of the harvesting sites, resulting in additional scarring.[7] Several skin substitutes, either complementary or alternative to autografts, have thu...
