Abstract

In the present case, we successfully applied the OASIS extracellular matrix to a tendon-exposed wound and simultaneously performed skin grafting. In the future, this approach can be used to further reduce a patient's burden, as it is more effective than PAT transplantation for wounds with exposed tendons.
