A cellular dermal matrices are biomaterial scaffolds "made from skin from which the cells have been removed, leaving behind a sterile framework or 'lattice' of tissue that the patient's own cells can grow into and eventually replace."They are drawing a lot of attention in plastic surgery and in the entire medical field because they can "help avoid the difficulties and limitations of other reconstructive techniques."1 The basic science of acellular dermal matrices and their clinical applications are expanding rapidly and in many fields.
