| Description | Xe-Derma is a new sterile commercially available biological wound dressing derived from acellular porcine dermis. In hydrated form it displays biomechanical features similar to human dermis. It is distributed in dry form and therefore it can be kept and stored for long periods of time. As a temporary biological skin cover it stimulates wound healing by supporting migration and proliferation of keratinocytes and creates an appropriate environment for the growth of granulation tissue in the wound. Xe-Derma can be used for treatment of superficial and deep dermal burns, as a cover of burn wounds after necrectomy, as a cover of donor sites and superficial mechanical wounds. |
