A consecutive case series of defects reconstructed using NovoSorb ® Biodegradable Temporising Matrix: Initial experience and early results

Background: NovoSorb ® Biodegradable Temporising Matrix (BTM) is a synthetic dermal template recently approved for treatment of full thickness defects of the skin. It requires a two-stage reconstruction where it is initially placed into a defect to generate a neodermis, which is later covered by a split skin graft. It has previously been described for the treatment of acute full thickness burn injury, necrotizing fasciitis and free flap donor site reconstruction.Methods: A consecutive case series review of patients treated with BTM at Middlemore Hospital was performed.
