- Published justification
Polynovo is the only supplier of this product and this is the only synthetic dermal template available worldwide. The advantage above other dermal matrices, such as Integra, is that this product is very resistant to infection. Therefore low risk of it getting infected and needing removal. I have not lost a single piece of BTM from infection.<br/><br/>The clinical advantage for burns patients is earlier engagement in physiotherapy, less pain (and painkillers) and better long term scar quality. If the scars are better longterm, they need less scar therapy, less reconstruction and have better quality of life. Other teams are using this for complex wound reconstruction as an alternative to free flap surgery, which can take up to 12 hours. This takes significantly less time to apply, saving theatre time and allowing patients to be discharged earlier from hospital, with less invasive surgery.
