2065432 9113638 PCTABS00007 A conformable wound dressing is described which comprises a layer of cultured mammalian cells anchored to one surface of a substrate comprising a film of synthetic polymer of which substrate is hydrophobic, non-inhibiting to cell growth and non-cytotoxic. Also described is a system for the manufacture of wound dressings which system comprises a substrate for culturing anchorage dependent mammalian cells and means for monitoring a culture medium in contact with said substrate wherein said substrate is a conformable film of a synthetic polymeric material which is hydrophobic, non-inhibiting to cell growth and non-cytotoxic. Various alternative embodiments of the wound dressing and the system are described. A method for treating wounds using the dressing or system of the invention together with a method for the in vitro cultivation of anchorage dependent mammalian cells are also described.
