Autologous dermo-epidermal composite skin substitutes
By far, the most promising autologous dermo-epidermal (composite) skin substitute reported is the cultured skin substitutes (CSS) developed in Cincinnati in the United States. This substitute is composed of collagen-glycosaminoglycan substrates which contains autologous fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Reported to be able to provide permanent replacement of both dermal and epidermal layers in a single grafting procedure [2, 79–83], this product was later commercialised as PermaDermTM [43]. PermaDermTM can currently be engineered within 30 days.
