Skin Substitutes and Tissue Matrices

Skin substitutes and tissue matrices represent a new generation of treatment tools, substances which mimic the body’s natural physiology and/or regenerative pathways. The size of the tissue repair and augmentation market and the commercial range of applications is still evolving. Many of the products are still in early stages of development. The evolution of demand and need for tissue repair – and health care in general - over the next ten years will be determined by a complicated mix of inter-related factors.
