Summary

This study tested whether adding a collagen-elastin dermal matrix to standard skin grafts improves skin flexibility and reduces scarring. 92 adults with skin loss from injury or surgery received either a graft with the matrix or a graft alone. The main goal was to measure skin foldability at one year.
