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.

Keywords: Dermal substitute; Flowable; Integra; Tunnelled wound.
