2. SUPRATHEL®-the second skin
In burn surgery, a polylactide-
based temporary substitute,
Suprathel (PolyMedics
Innovations GmbH, Denkendorf,
Germany), has become available.
This material is a cellular,
biodegradable, synthetic
copolymer for temporary wound
coverage. Its exact mechanism of
action is still unknown, but a
potential to support wound
healing and reepithelialization is
attributed.
SUPRATHEL®
Wound Surface
O2 H2OBacterial
agents

3. The results of the histological
investigations
• Absence of inflammatory
reaction
• High vascularisated
granulation tissue with high
capillary activity
• Increase in the intercellular
matrix
• Increase epithelization and
the construction of the base
layer
