The biologic band is created on the base of type I collagen and platelet derived growth factor. It was applied for extensive burns of IIIa grade at 1-2nd day after a trauma, which led to epidermis reconstruction at 5-7th day. Authors assume that the effect of the band is determined by the time of its use--1-2nd day, when stimulating exudation qualities combine with healing properties of the bandage. The effectiveness of the collagen band showed to be equal to those of fibroblast transplantation.
