Treatment of pediatric soft tissue wounds presents additional complexities and highlights unique requirements. This piece provides a synopsis of an article [1] published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports by Dr. Kyle Crowley and his colleagues from the Division of Paediatric Surgery at Townsville University Hospital in Queensland, Australia.  NovoSorb® BTM, a biodegradable […]

NovoSorb® BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) is a biocompatible device designed to temporize dermal injuries where tissue has been decimated or lost and to facilitate dermal repair by providing temporary wound closure and a scaffold for the generation of new dermal tissue. NovoSorb BTM is intended for single application and shouldn’t be applied into overtly infected […]

Unlike the body’s reparative healing response for deep wounds, which is chaotic, NovoSorb® BTM is unique in its ability to reorient the healing process from repair into regeneration. NovoSorb BTM is designed to promote the organized generation of a robust vascularized neodermis, designed to minimize scarring and contracture, thus improving functional and cosmetic patient outcomes. […]

Most superficial wounds (ones involving the epidermis and sometimes the partial dermis) heal quickly, often without scarring, and typically covered with readily available wound dressings. However, when trauma occurs and large portions of the epidermis and dermis are destroyed, it may be necessary to put a structure in place to aid the body in generating […]

Complex wounds often involve exposed deep structures of the dermal layer, requiring prompt wound closure and tissue reconstruction. It is essential to quickly assess the defect and identify the most effective treatment method for optimizing the patient’s experience and outcome. Often, dermal substitutes are selected as a surgical option for temporizing the wound bed while […]

When trauma to the skin occurs, large areas of both the skin’s surface (epidermis) and deeper layers (dermis) may be destroyed. In many cases, large full-thickness wounds may require temporization due to the lack of suitable donor sites for primary skin grafting. Clinical research[1] indicates the temporization of deep, large wounds with dermal scaffolds can […]
