ARTIFICIAL SKIN CONTAINING AS SUPPORT BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS BASED ON HYALURONIC ACID DERIVATIVES

摘要

Artificial human skin comprising: a) microperforated membrane based on a hyaluronic acid derivative, on which keratinocytes have been seeded and cultured, b) an underlying non-woven tissue based on a hyaluronic acid derivative wherein fibroblasts have been seeded and left to proliferate. The artificial human skin according to the present invention can be therefore advantageously used in medicine, in surgery, in diagnostics and as a vehicle for preparing a controlled release medicament. Lastly, this artificial human skin can be frozen to -80 DEG C or placed in liquid nitrogen and stored, so that a tissue bank can be created.
