A living skin replacement for the treatment of partial-and full-thickness skin i njuries, such as burns and other wounds, consists of a slurry of cell-coated microspheres which can be applied to the ski n injury in much the same manner as a paste or salve. The skin implant can accommodate contour variations across the often exte nsive area of a skin injury and does not require the use of stapling, suturing, or other attachment methods. The microspheres can be formed of a variety of materials that are bio-compatible and resorbable in vivo.
