Abstract

Full thickness burns usually lead to a great loss of skin and physiological instability because human skin is not only the biggest organ of our body it is the most important protection barrier as well.

Many artificial skin substitutes have been developed for this purpose so far. The benefits and harms of one substitute--Integra artificial skin--are discussed in a critical literature review.
