After decades of evolution in burn treatments, innumerable technologies have been developed, ranging from meshed autographs, AlloDerm, cultured skin, constructed biologic dermal matrix, and most recently, 3D laser printing. While these technologies are promising, they often pose significant therapeutic challenges, such as limited... view more»
