Abstract:
Background: The NovoSorb biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM) is a synthetic polyurethane dermal matrix used to reconstruct complex wounds including deep dermal and full-thickness burns, necrotising fasciitis and free flap donor site. We hope to further explore its potential applications in this series. Methods: Patients who received BTM application across four centres over an 18-month period were included. Patients were followed up to assess BTM and graft take, the aesthetic, the return of sensation and complications. Results: A total of 27 patients with 35 wounds were identified with a range of aetiologies. Thirty-three wounds had 100% integration of BTM at the time of sealing membrane removal. Seven wounds had partial graft loss that later healed by secondary intention. In two cases, re-epithelialisation occurred with BTM alone without split-skin graft. Conclusion: BTM offers a safe and reliable reconstructive option in challenging wounds that would otherwise require more complex operations. Recent Publications 1. Tay YT, Tang N, Ng SK-H.
