Influence of Biobrane construction on adherence.
Biobrane (standard adherence) and Biobrane L (light adherence) were compared for their degree of adherence to donor site wounds on rabbits at 1, 4, 7, and 9 days. Biobrane, which has more nylon fabric exposed to the wound surface, had significantly greater adherence levels to the wound at all time periods when compared with Biobrane L, which has less nylon fabric exposed to the wound.
