Description

Introduction: Allograft is well known to be useful in the treatment of extensive burn patients, but considering the small amount of stock in Japan where a large number of burn patients are expected in event of a disaster, artificial dermis is used to the maximum extent. Thus, it is highly important to be familiar with the treatments for burn patients. At this facility, since the suspension of skin bank activities in August 2015, we have been actively utilizing artificial dermis and evaluating its usefulness. For 96% of burn patients in 2016 and 86% of burn patients in 2017, we used artificial dermis without using Allograft. Using artificial dermis alone, the lives of over 80% of patients with widespread burns were saved. We report the usefulness of artificial dermis based on a retrospective study of the use of Allograft and artificial dermis in patients with extensive burns.
