Abstract

Abstract: Nowadays Integra™ is an integral part of the "reconstructive ladder", recently the new Integra™ Flowable Dermal Regeneration has appeared on the market. This is a semiliquid compound, malleable and those characteristics widen the indication for its use. In this report we describe two cases in which we used this product to repair undermined and tunnelled wounds. We believe that this product can be useful for treatment of tunnelled wounds of small dimensions reducing the need for major procedures. Highlights: This is the first paper about the use of Integra™ Flowable Dermal Regeneration. This product is a semiliquid compound made of collagen and glycosaminoglycan. This product is useful to treat tunnelled wounds. This product is easily used in outpatient clinic.
