Date Nov. 25, 1993A living skin replacement for the treatment of partial-thickness and full-thickness skin injuries, such as burns and other wounds, consists of a slurry of cell-coated microspheres which can be applied to the skin injury in much the same manner as a paste or salve. The skin implant can accommodate contour variations across the often extensive area of a skin injury and does not require the use of stapling, suturing or other attachment methods. The microspheres can be formed of a variety of materials that are biocompatible and resorbable in vivo.
