[Lyophilized split pigskin for biological wound dressings (author's transl)]. / Lyophilisierte Schweinespalthaut als biologischer Wundverband

ABSTRACT

Experimental and clinical investigations of an unviable split pigskin preserve, produced by a fairly simple industrial process, outline the following results: The skin preserve protects a wound surface against infection and prevents loss of fluid. The reaction of the wound surface is very restricted even after repeated application, whilst the viable pigskin releases a more intense host reaction.
