title: Development of artificial skin (Template) and influence of different types of sterilization procedures on wound healing pattern in rabbits and guinea pigs.
abstract: Different types of sterilization procedures have been applied onto artificial skin (Template) developed in our laboratory from polyether urethane, chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol, etc. Studies have been performed to investigate the differences in the wound healing pattern. It appears that quickened wound healing takes place in the rabbit model despite different types of samples and sterilization methods.
