Today, autologous skin transplantation is frequently used for full-thickness skin defects. There is still a high demand for new wound-healing products to replace autologous skin transplantation. ⋯ The new collagen-gelatin scaffold supports and accelerates dermal wound repair compared to untreated control wounds. Nevertheless, wound treatment with the scaffold was only performed on the first day. In further studies, the impact of multiple scaffold applications on full-thickness skin defects should be investigated.
