A New Class of Skin Substitute: NovoSorb BTM (Biodegradable Temporizing Matrix) is a synthetic bilayer dermal substitute designed to temporize the wound and facilitate new tissue growth. The top-layer sealing membrane physiologically seals the wound, protecting from external contamination and creating an oxygen-limiting, moist environment ideal for healing.3-5 The bottom-layer biodegradable matrix acts as a scaffold for tissue ingrowth,2 converting a macro-wound into interconnected micro-wounds for organized healing. When ready, the sealing membrane is peeled off leaving behind a reinforced vascularized dermal bed that supports successful definitive closure of full-thickness wounds within a single application.2
