title: [Covering of skin defect wounds with a synthetic skin substitute. Conditioning of defect wounds of various origins with a synthetic skin substitute as a preparation for skin transplantation].
abstract: Treatment of large skin defects with a synthetic substitute for homograft skin is described. Defect wounds of different genesis, particularly with heavy infections, were treated with the synthetic skin substitute Epigard (Parke-Davis). An advantage is an easy wound dressing and good condition of the wound ground with development of a sufficient vascularization and cleaning of the wound bed for the reconstructive procedures keeping the wound ready for autotransplantation.
