Abstract

We report the first use of the Integra Bilayer Matrix Wound Dressing (Integra LifeSciences Corp), a collagen sheet with glycosaminoglycans and a silicone layer, in an innovative reconstruction approach to devastating traumatic tissue loss in the periocular area. A 36-year-old woman was involved in a motor vehicle crash with a resultant large defect from the medial canthus to the temporal fossa and from the pretarsal skin to the brow. There was denudation of skin and soft tissue to the bone at the superolateral orbital apex. The severity of tissue loss precluded placement of an autograft or allograft; thus, a skin substitute was instead used, with a successful reconstructive outcome. Application of the newer bioengineered skin products for full-thickness skin wounds should be considered for reconstruction of the periocular area.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
