| Summary |
|
To develop and test new
materials for use as composite scaffolds for |
|
dermo-epidermal skin
grafts in the treatment of severe burns and |
|
chronic ulcers. A more
widespread culture on the clinical use of skin |
|
grafts will also be
established. The project will combine and develop the |
|
expertise and techniques
of the partners in the areas of synthesis of |
|
biocompatible polymers,
device engineering, design and testing of |
|
constructs and research
and clinical practice in the tissue engineering |
| Achievements |
|
Candidate scaffold
materials have been selected from a large starting |
|
array of hyaluronic acid
derivatives and have been processed into |
|
suitable matrix
formations. |
