INTRODUCTION

In the last few decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the development of new active wound coverings and bioengineered skin substitutes.

Increased understanding of wound healing and the complex interactions of cells, extracellular matrix molecules, growth factors, and various signaling molecules brought new materials that optimized wound healing and minimized scarring.

These developments overcame the biochemical difficulties of chronic wounds and the challenges of extensive wounding found with large body surface area burns.

7

INTRODUCTION

Research has shown that moist wound healing creates a more optimal healing environment and this knowledge led to the development of various occlusive synthetic dressings that improved the outcome and addressed the various issues of acute and chronic wound environments.

These new synthetic polymer dressings have improved the outcome in many situations and and slowly replaced the centuries old standard of gauze-type dressings.

INTRODUCTION

They can maintain an ideal moist environment, help autolytic debridement, prevent infection, and speed up granulation and epithelialization.

However they are not always able to correct the challenges of complex chronic wounds or extensive wounding of the skin with large body surface area epidermal loss.

10

INTRODUCTION

In recent years, a wide array of biologically active materials and skin substitutes has been developed.

Although an ideal skin substitute is not yet available these products address the various challenges of wound healing.

EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX MATERIALS(ECM)

Help change environment of the wound and essentially can be considered active within the wound.

Maintain ideal moist wound healing environment by absorbing excessive fluid or donating moisture.

Help dermal regeneration, absorb bacterial chemical byproducts and destruct wound enzymes (matrix metalloproteinases [MMPs]).

15

ECM (contd)

chemically binds the various metalloproteinases and inactivates them.

Protect local growth factors from degradation by MMPs and therefore growth factors can remain biologically active in the wound environment.

Dressings specifically designed for helping reduce the high levels of MMPs

composed of a mixture of collagen and oxidised regenerated cellulose or alginate fibres

16

ECM (contd)

Examples of such wound dressings are

Promogram Wound Matrix

Prisma

Fibracol plus collagen(Johnson and Johnson)

17

ECM (contd)

To aid dermal regeneration, other materials composed of collagen or hyaluronic acid from various animal sources are used in the wound

This exogenous collagen chemotactic for fibroblasts and macrophages and also provides temporary 3 dimensional scaffold to help with ingrowth of tissue

SK IN TEMP MATRIDERM

19

MATRIDERMDermal implant made of native bovine

collagen coated with elastin

This matrix results in a better reconstruction of the dermis than pure collagen matrices.

Allows the ingrowth of host fibroblasts and other cells to regenerate a dermis with properties closer to normal uninjured skin.

20

Matriderm combined with autologous grafting gave better results in terms of elasticity and vascularity than skin grafting alone.

22OASIS WOUND MATRIX

Derived from porcine intestinal submucosa.

Indicated for various types of partial and full thickness wounds, such as burns as well as traumatic and various chronic ulcers.

This natural scaffold, which contains native ECM, and various growth factors is incorporated and absorbed into the wound base.

23OASIS WOUND MATRIX

In vivo studies have shown angiogenesis into the matrix.

Hodde JP, Ernst DM, Hiles MC. An investigation of the long term bioactivity of endogenous growth factor in OASIS Wound Matrix. J Wound Care 2005; 14: 23-5

Oasis wound matrix has been evaluated in a randomised controlled clinical trial in the treatment of venous leg ulcers, and after 12 weeks, 55% of patients were healed in the Oasis group and only 34% in the control group.

ACELLULAR SKIN REPLACEMENTS

SYNTHETIC BILAYER SUBSTITUTES

ALLOGENIC ACELLULAR SUBSTITUTES

25

SYNTHETIC BILAYER SUBSTITUTES

Materials that consist of a porous matrix, which contains collagen, hyaluronic acid, fibronectin, or other acellular matrix proteins, and a thin layer of silicone.

Helps protect the wound from moisture loss and infection.

Examples

26BIOBRANE

Biosynthetic skin substitute

Bilaminate membrane consisting of nylon mesh with covalently bound porcine type I collagen peptide and a thin layer of silicone.

When applied to a partial thickness or freshly excised full thickness wound, it adheres and provides a temporary skin barrier.

27BIOBRANE

As the wound heals, fibroblasts and capillaries grow under the bilayer skin substitute and regenerate tissue in the dermis.

The silicone layer functions as the epidermis, and pores in the silicone material allow some fluid to escape.

In fairly superficial wounds membrane binds to the wound and is gradually replaced by host epithelium from adnexae and wound edges.

28BIOBRANE

In full thickness wounds material stimulates granulation tissue and prepares the bed for autologous grafting, although the silicone membrane and the nylon mesh need to be removed before the procedure.

29AWBAT

Composed of a very thin, porous silicone membrane bound to a loosely knit nylon fabric, which is coated with a mixture of porcine collagen peptides.

Not covalently bound interact more quickly with fibrin in the wound and allows better acute adherence during the initial phase of wound closure.

More uniform distribution of pores in the silicone layer allows better fluid and moisture permeability and decreases the development of seromas at the wound site.

30

INTEGRA DERMAL REGENERATION TEMPLATE

Bilayer matrix that provides a scaffold for dermal regeneration and temporary wound coverage.

Dermal replacement layer consists of a porous matrix of fibres of cross linked bovine collagen and chondroitin-6-sulfate manufactured with a controlled porosity and defined degradation rate.

31

Epidermal substitute layer is made of synthetic polysiloxane polymer and functions to control moisture loss from the wound and provide protection from infection.

The collagen dermal replacement layer serves as a scaffold for the infiltration of fibroblasts and various other cells during the healing process

Over time,dermal layer of integra is degraded,replaced by host tissue,and neodermis is regenerated from template

32

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS OF ECM MATERIALS

Delivery of antimicrobial agents, growth factors, and DNA to further enhance wound healing.

Colonisation of wound with bacteria occurs quickly formation of a bacterial biofilm chronic infections.

Incorporation of sliver, cadexomer iodine, and other antimicrobials in the ECM materials delay wound colonisation and biofilm formation.

33

ALLOGENIC ACELLULAR SUBSTITUTES

Human cadaver allograft “ GOLD STANDARD” for temporary coverage after burn wound excision.

Dermal allografts human cadaveric skin that is cryopreseved, lyophilized,and glycerolized to remove donor cellular ,infectious and antigenic materials.

Remaining structures serves as a scaffolding or template for the ingrowth of host fibroblasts and vascular tissue and helps regenerate dermal tissue.

34

ALLOGENIC ACELLULAR SUBSTITUTES

However, barrier function is not ideal, shelf life is limited, and contamination of cadaver skin and disease transmission pose risks.

ALLOGENIC CELLULAR BIOENGINEERED TISSUE

EPIDERMAL SUBSTITUTES

StratagraftsLiving human skin substitute.

Consists of a dermal component that is layered with a fully stratified biologically functional allogenic epidermis generated from neonatal immortalized keratinocytes.

Pathogen free and has tensile strength and barrier function comparable to that of intact human skin, including expression of host defense peptides, which, in turn may help prevent infection.

37

ALLOGENIC CELLULAR BIOENGINEERED TISSUE

StratagraftsThis material is comparable to cadaver allograft for temporary

management of skin defects.

In various studies there were no significant differences in autograft “take” between wound sites pre-treated with Stratagraft and cadaveric allograft

38Dermal substitutes

Dermagraft Cryopreserved human fibroblast derived

dermal subsititute

Manufactured from newborn foreskin fibroblast cells seeded onto a bioabsorbable polyglactin mesh scaffold.

As the fibroblasts proliferate over the scaffold, they secrete various growth factors, cytokines, and ECM proteins and create a 3D human dermal substitute containing metabolically active cells

39

Dermagraft The clinician recieves the material frozen

in a pouch, and after simple thawing and rinsing procedure, it is ready to be used in the wound.

The therapeutic properties are dependent on cell viability after cryopreservation, which is about 60%.

Indicated for use and treatment of full thickness, diabetic foot ulcers lasting more than 6 weeks without muscle, tendon, joint capsule, or bone exposure, in which it has shown to improve healing.

ALLOGENIC CELLULAR BIOENGINEERED TISSUEDERMAL SUBSTITUTES

TransCyte Human fibroblast- derived temporary skin substitute

consisting of a polymer silicone membrane and human neonatal fibroblast cells cultured into a nylon mesh.

They secrete various growth factors and ECM molecules, and the silicone membrane protects the wound.

The material is cryopreserved, which leaves the various growth factors and ECM molecules intact

This membrane provides a tranparent synthetic biologically active skin.

ALLOGENIC CELLULAR BIOENGINEERED TISSUE

DERMAL SUBSTITUTES

ICX-SKN Single layer dermal substitute comprised of collagen based

scaffolding populated with living fibroblasts.

STILL UNDERGOING CLINICAL TRIAL

42

COMPOSITE SKIN ALLOGRAFTS

Most advanced commercially available allogenic skin substitutes are bioengineered full thickness human skin.

Consist of a collagen scaffold with cultured fibroblasts and a layer of stratified cultured human keratinocytes.

They lack appendageal structures, vasculature, and rete ridges, the histology resembles normal skin.

43OrCel

Consists of a layer of cultured neonatal keratinocytes and a bovine collagen sponge with cultured neonatal fibroblasts.

Cryopreserved- thus needing to be thawed and rinsed before placement into the wound

44APLIGRAF

Composite bilayer product that consists of a layer of bovine type I collagen gel with cultured neonatal fibroblasts for its epidermal component and a cornified epidermal layer of neonatal keratinocytes

Approved by FDA for chronic venous ulcers lasting more than a month that have not responded to standard care and for full thickness diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers lasting more than 3 weeks without exposed tendon, muscle, capsule or bone.

45APLIGRAF

Patients treated with Apligraf experienced faster healing and decreased complication rate, thereby needing less medical follow up.

skin equivalent , is effective in the management of noninfected neuropathic diabetic ulcers: a prospective randomized mulitcenter clinical trial. Diabetes Care 2001; 24: 290-5.

46

AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

EPICEL Cultured epithelial autografts.

First commercially available autologous bioengineered epidermal product available in the United States.

Indicated for use in patients who have deep dermal or full thicknes burns covering more than 30% of body surface area.

47

Limitations of cultured epthelial autografts:

Quite fragile

Susceptible to sheer injury and degradation by infection

Can vary greatly from less than 20% to 100% depending on the wound bed and clinical technique.

Time taken for culturing process is about 3 weeks, which poses challenges with patients clinical care and temporary skin coverage issues.

Although these grafts ultimately induce formation of a normal-appearing dermis, this process takes several years, so currently used in conjunction with a dermal substitute.

48

AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

CELL SPRAY: Cultured epithelial autograft suspension that is applied onto a

clean wound bed using an aerosol applicator.

A small split thickness donor biopsy is needed to start the process, and within about 5 days, viable preconfluent keratinocyte suspension can be produced.

These cells proliferate and migrate in the wound bed; provide an even, confluent epidermal cell cover ; promote healing; and optimize scar quality.

49AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

The Aerosolized method of application is much simpler, particularly in complex contour areas that are typically difficult to graft.

Also because keratinocytes retain the properties of the donor site, replacing skin with cell suspension from a matched donor site helps optimize outcome.

50AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

Epidex Cultured epidermal skin equivalent that is grown from hair follicle

outer root sheeth stem cells.

After a small amount of hair is plucked, the outer root sheath cells are grown in a coculture process designed to result in the formation of fully differentiated epidermis, mounted on silicone disks to facilitate handling.

These disks are then applied onto the wound surface.

51

AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

The rapidly dividing epidermal cells expand to cover the lesion

The culturing process takes several weeks but has the advantage that no skin biopsy is required.

52

AUTOLOGOUS CULTURED SKIN REPLACEMENTS

LASERSKIN

Epidermal autograft of cultured keratinocytes on a microperforated esterified hyaluronic acid.

Has been used alone and in combination with autologous fibroblasts cultured on hyaluronic acid matrix making it the first full thickness skin replacement.

53

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Future research and development in the area of bioengineered skin substitutes is most likely to focus on:

Modifying culturing techniques

Delivering growth factors

DNA and microRNA

Improving full thickness autologous skin substitutes
