CUTISS Skintech bietet Verbrennungsopfern lebensverändernde Hoffnung

Swiss biotech company [CUTISS](https://cutiss.swiss/) is changing the lives of burn victims and those patients requiring reconstructive skin surgery. 

The company has developed denovoSkin, a personalised, bioengineered skin graft. 

Classified as an advanced therapy medicinal product, it can be bioengineered in large quantities, starting from a small, stamp-sized piece of the patient’s healthy skin. denovoSkin™ is composed of an epidermis (the top protective layer = life) and a dermis (the structural layer below = quality of life) for permanently treating skin defects and injuries.

The biopsy is processed to isolate epidermal and dermal cells. The cells are expanded in vitro (and can be bio-banked for further use) and thereafter used in combination with a hydrogel to form tissue.

Life changing stuff for burn victims as well as others needing reconstructive surgeries
