In Vivo Evaluation of Temporary Wound Dressing for Adherence, Durability and Autografting on Sulfur Mustard-Induced Lesions in Weanling Swine

Abstract

The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) is responsible for evaluating treatment regimens for percutaneous bis (2-chioroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard; SM) exposure and for developing models to make these assessments. Task 94-33 was designed to develop consistent superficial dermal to full-skin-thickness SM-induced lesions in weanling pigs, to characterize these lesions using biomechanical measurements, clinical observations, photographs, and histopathology, and to evaluate a temporary wound dressing (TWD, Dermagraft-TC supplied by Advanced Tissue Sciences in La Jolla, CA).
