title: Synthetic membranes and cultured keratinocyte grafts.
abstract: Significant progress has been made in skin replacement options in the past several decades. Although initially various materials have been used mainly for burn coverage, their application to dermatologic practice has increased significantly. We review the research, progress, and other aspects of wound coverage with synthetic membranes and cultured epithelial sheets in both burn and nonburn wound management.
