Evaluation of an allogeneic cultured dermal substitute composed of fibroblasts within a spongy collagen matrix as a wound dressing.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether epithelialisation is promoted when an allogeneic cultured dermal substitute is used as a biological wound dressing. The dermal substitute was prepared by plating fibroblasts on to a spongy collagen matrix, and then culturing them for 7 to 10 days. A new animal wound model was designed to measure re-epithelialisation quantitatively. A full thickness skin defect was made on the dorsum of each of 33 rats; the skin was excised, leaving a layer of pannicular carnosus with an island of intact skin in the central portion of the skin defect. In the first group of rats (n = 13), a piece of cultured dermal substitute was applied to the wound, and a medicated covering material was placed over it. Re-epithelialisation from the island of intact skin was monitored over a period of 7 days. In the second group of rats (n = 10), the wound was covered with an acellular collagen matrix in conjunction with the medicated covering material, and in the third group of rats (n = 10), the wound was covered with the medicated covering material alone. Both the macroscopic and histological findings indicated that the epithelial migration of the first group of rats was far more rapid than that in the other two groups. It comes to the conclusion that the application of this new fibroblastic cultured dermal substitute provided a good environment for the promotion of wound healing.
