J Frese, and H Kohaus

Treatment of large skin defects with a synthetic substitute for homograft skin is described. Defect wounds of different genesis, particularly with heavy infections, were treated with the synthetic skin substitute Epigard (Parke-Davis). An advantage is an easy wound dressing and good condition of the wound ground with development of a sufficient vascularization and cleaning of the wound bed for the reconstructive procedures keeping the wound ready for autotransplantation.
