Artificial dermis (1) obtained from plasma with platelets (2) and human
fibroblasts. The plasma with platelets (2) is obtained from the
fractionating of total blood (4) from the patient (8) by light
centrifugation, and the human fibroblasts (3) from a skin biopsy (5).
Clotting is obtained by adding calcium.This artificial dermis (1)
provides for the rapid growth of the keratinocytes (6) seeded on its
surface to build an artificial skin (7) which can easily be transplanted.
Large areas of artificial dermis (1) are obtained from a small skin
biopsy (5) and minimal quantities of plasma with platelets (2), which
being enriched with cytokines and platelet growth factors, strengthens
the proliferation of the cells seeded, both inside and on the surface.The
artificial skin (7) obtained can be used to treat major burn treatments,
chronic skin ulcers, etc., or be used, by employing genetically altered
cells, as a vehicle for gene therapy.
