Skin Micrograph Protector in a Burn Wound: Alloderm or Hydrogel Coating? by I. Yu. Arefyev, M. G. Ryabkov, V. V. Beschastnov, M. L. Bugrova, K. S. Petrova, P. V. Peretyagin, L. B. Timofeeva, A. A. Karpenko, A. A. Tulupov, N. A. Koloshein

“…By 20 days, under the condition of regular change of hydrogel coatings, the area of wound healing under the studied coatings did not significantly differ. However, the structure of the integumentary tissue under the alloderm according to the optical coherence tomography data was closer to normal skin than when using a hydrogel protector.CONClUSIONS From the point of view of the physiology of the wound process, alloderm is the preferred option of an autograft protector in comparison with a hydrogel coating, which is probably due to the paracrine biological activity of the alloderm. …”
