Hi to all, Our facility is experimenting with a matrix made from acellular, compressed pig bladder, as an alternative to collagen in the making of engineered skin for burn patients. The name of the material is Matristem Wound Sheet and Matristem Surgical Matrix. It is not very thick, but extremely condensed and somewhat dense, which is the total opposite of the bovine collagen we have been using. During rehydration it was not very hydrophilic, which makes me wonder about my processing times.
Has anyone ever worked with this product? If so should I shorten/lengthen processing times? How does it cut? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
