Abstract

In the last decades, skin substitutes have emerged as an important innovation in improving scar quality. They can be applied during the initial wound management but also during scar reconstruction procedures. This chapter provides an overview on the development, current state, and future of cell-seeded and tissue-engineered skin substitutes. We will discuss some of the most important varieties of skin substitutes in the context of scar formation and wound healing.
