PURPOSE: Dermal templates, such as Matriderm® and Integra®, are widely used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, often as two-step procedures. A recent development is the application of thin dermal templates covered with split thickness skin grafts in one-step procedures. In this experimental study, we compare the two thin matrices Matriderm® 1 mm and Integra® Single Layer in a one-step procedure with particular focus on neodermis formation. METHODS: Matriderm® 1 mm and Integra® Dermal Regeneration Template-Single Layer (1.3 mm) were compared in a rat model. In three groups of five animals each, a full thickness wound was covered with (a) Matriderm® 1 mm and neonatal rat epidermis, (b) Integra® Single Layer and neonatal rat epidermis, or, (c) neonatal rat epidermis only (control). Histological sections 2 weeks post transplantation were analyzed with regard to take of template and epidermis, neodermal thickness, collagen deposition, vascularization, and inflammatory response. RESULTS: Take of both templates was complete in all animals. The Matriderm®-based neodermis was thinner but showed a higher cell density than the Integra®-based neodermis. The other parameters were similar in both matrices. CONCLUSION: The two templates demonstrate a comparable biological behavior early after transplantation. The only difference was found regarding neodermal thickness, probably resulting from faster degradation of Matriderm®. These preliminary data suggest that both dermal templates appear similarly suitable for transplantation in a one-step procedure.
