Abstrakt: Background: NovoSorb biodegradable temporizing matrix (BTM) is a novel, bilayer, synthetic skin substitute made of biodegradable polyurethane foam covered with a sealing membrane. BTM has demonstrated excellent outcomes in burn literature; however, few studies have been published for hand and extremity soft tissue reconstruction.
Methods: All patients who underwent extremity reconstruction with BTM from 2018 to 2023 were reviewed. Demographics, presentations, and clinical outcomes were recorded.
Results: A total of 86 cases from 54 patients (53.7% pediatric; age range: 0-81 years) were included. Common indications included trauma (36%), infection (18.6%), and malignancy (11.6%). BTM was placed over exposed tendon (38.4%), bone (19%), joints (12.8%), nerves (8.1%), and/or blood vessels (7%). BTM served as temporary wound coverage in 26 cases. Complications included hematoma (8.1%), infection (4.7%), and spontaneous delamination (4.7%). Wound closure was successfully obtained without flap use in 93.3%. Poor BTM take was associated with peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, immunosuppression, and BTM hematoma and infection (<0.05).
Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing body of evidence favoring BTM use in challenging reconstructive cases. Although prospective comparative studies are forthcoming, BTM likely has broad applications in reconstructive surgery.
