Description
Summary:Background Biodegradable temporising matrix (BTM™) is a totally synthetic, polyurethane bilaminar dermal template. This case series details its use in the reconstruction of 24 complex soft tissue defects and their reported outcomes. Methods Data collected on patients over a 1-year period underwent soft tissue reconstruction using BTM™. This included patient demographics; co-morbidities; indication for use; anatomical area, depth and Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) of defect; time from application to skin graft; method of fixation and dressing as well as percentage success and any complications. Results Soft tissue defect TBSA ranged from
