Application of Skin Substitutes (also known as Cellular and/or Tissue Based Products) to certain wounds may help these wounds heal faster than conventional dressings and conservative treatments. Usually skin substitutes are used if conventional treatment has been tried for at least 30 days and the wound has not healed as quickly as expected. Human skin allografts are a type of skin substitute. They are made of skin donated by human donors that have had intact cells removed or treated to avoid immunologic rejection (a process in which the body of the person receiving the skin substitute kills the cells of the skin substitute).
