Bioengineered Skin Substitutes

Bioengineered skin substitutes are advanced materials designed to replace or assist damaged or missing skin. They are created using living cells, often grown in labs, combined with scaffolds that mimic natural skin. These substitutes promote healing, reduce infection risk, and improve cosmetic and functional outcomes for burn victims or those with severe skin wounds. They can be temporary or permanent solutions, accelerating recovery and supporting the body’s natural healing process through biologically compatible components.
