Definitions

  • the invention concerns a wound dressing in the form of a polymeric film of which one side is covered with cultured autologous skin cells, the preparation and the use thereof for covering and healing skin defects, an apparatus and growth chambers for the production of such a wound dressing.
  • Skin defects such as deep second and third degree burn wounds and chronic leg ulcers, are painful, heal slowly, are susceptible to contamination, and if not treated properly may not heal or form hypertrophic scars.
  • Such skin defects are normally grafted with expanded autologous split-thickness skin. Keratinocytes migrate out from the meshed autografts and close the wound in 7-14 days.
  • This effective treatment method has been utilized for many years. The method is relatively straight forward, poses little health risk to the patient and is very fast. However, this method has two disadvantages: firstly, a donor site proportional to the size of the treated wound is produced (now two scars instead of one are present) , and secondly, the treated wound generates a webbed or "fishnet" scar.
  • the grafted wound is mechanically stable and functional, however, the resulting scar is not cosmetically pleasant.
  • tissue culture is a well established technique used in basic research fields such as intracellular activity, intra ⁇ cellular flux or environmental interaction. Tissue culture has also been adopted into many routine applications in medi ⁇ cine and industry. Chromosomal analysis of cells derived from the womb by amniocentesis can reveal genetic disorders in the unborn child, viral infections may be assayed qualitatively and quantitatively on monolayers of appropriate host cells and the toxic effects of pharmaceutical compounds and poten ⁇ tial environmental pollutants can be measured in colony- forming and other in vi tro assays Freshney (1994) .
  • CEA cultured epidermal autografts
  • CEA technology has helped many patients to survive life threatening wounds, however, there are variable opinions with respect to CEA effectiveness in the literature. Critics of cultured epidermis technology cite the following problems: (1) low take rate, (2) low mechanical stability, (3) lengthy production time, (4) high costs, (5) possibility of contractions in third degree burns, (6) problems in removal of the graft without destroying the newly forming epithelium and without hurting the patient, and (7) good timing which is an important logistical problem. Most of the discussion has focused on the low “CEA take rate” (50-70%) . The CEA will "take” and heal the wound or it will not "take” and require additional grafting.
  • Deep second and third degree wound beds no longer contain papillary fibroblasts, melanocytes, keratinocytes, Merkel cells, and Langerhans cells. Each cell type has very specific interdependent homeostatic and wound healing functions. This is clearly demonstrated in a self healing wound where resident skin cell populations have been compromised but not completely destroyed. A protective scab forms under which the remaining skin cells work together as a unit to form a new epithelium. This is wh large deep wounds where the resident skin cell populations have been completely destroyed require autografting. Therefore, culture treatment methods of large- deep wounds should involve culturing as many skin cell types as possible not just keratinocytes. Culturing of melanocytes, dermal fibroblasts, and kerati ⁇ nocytes has become routine, however, an efficient culturing method for the treatment of non-self healing wounds has not been developed.

  • the hyaluronic acid esters are biodegradable and compa ⁇ tible with the organ to be treated.
  • hyaluronic acid esters may contain medicaments or keratinocytes and have been suggested as wound dressings (Andreassi et al., 1991).
  • the hyaluronic acid foil has the following disadvan ⁇ tages which limit its utility: 1) keratinocytes grow rela ⁇ tively slowly, 2) the foil is not autoclavable, 3) the foil is extremely expensive relative to other graftable mate- rials, 4) its effectiveness has not been clearly demon ⁇ strated, 5) health regulatory commissions will approve an inert material before they approve biodegradable materials.

The handling, except for the reactor suggested by Prenosil, is nowhere automated, costly and time consuming.

  • Such a wound dressing is supplied by the present invention.
  • the apparatus for producing such wound dressings is another objective of the invention.
  • the hitherto used means for cultu-ring skin cells, such as Petri dishes or culture flask, are unsuitable for producing the envisioned wound dressing. Detailed Description of the Wound Dressing and the Production thereof.
  • Culturing skin cells on a graftable polymeric film provides a solution to the above mentioned problems.
  • primary keratinocyte, dermal fibroblast and melanocyte cul ⁇ tures are established and cultured for 7 days in standard tissue culture dishes before they are trypsinized, pooled, and transferred to a common culture dish containing a polymeric film or the specially designed bioreactor apparatus of the present invention containing a polymeric film.
  • the polymeric film "seeded" with the in vi tro cultured skin cells is placed directly on the wound 2-5 days post inoculation.
  • a new epithelium is formed as the individual skin cells detach from the film and grow together in the wound bed.
  • the seeded wound heals under the polymeric film which functions as an artificial scab.
  • the wound forms a cosmetically pleasant skin that is similar to skin of self healing wounds.
  • the polymeric film dries up and detaches from the wound as the wound heals.
  • Skin cells are attachment dependent, therefore, the graftable material must provide a desirable surface for the attachment and growth of attachment dependent cells.
  • Tissue culture plastic, treated polystyrene is commonly used to grow attachment dependent cell lines in vi tro and is considered superior to other non-coated surfaces. Therefore, the skin cells should grow on the graftable material at least as well as they do on tissue culture plastic.
  • the graftable material is transparent to allow the non-invasive inspection of the wound.
  • the pre-sent graftable material adheres tightly to the wound, because the material is extremely flexible. Rigid materials are unsuitable because they tend to pull away from the wound.
  • the present graftable material according to the invention poses no health risk to the patient and it does not inhibit the healing process, as it is bio-inert and bio- compatible.
  • the graftable material maintains gas flux characteristics that closely approximate that of skin, as it is permeable to both carbon dioxide and oxygen gas. It provides an instant protective barrier against air-born contaminants, as it has no pores or holes that exceed 0.22 microns in diameter.
  • the graftable material can be physically removed from the wound in such a manner that the healing process is not disturbed.
  • Polymeric films e.g. silicone, vinyl copolymers, polyurethane, polycaprolactone, polyvinyl chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene are routinely used as wound dressings.
  • a Teflon FEP flourocarbon film preferably used according to the present invention meets all the objectives. It demon ⁇ strates the following excellent culturing and wound dressing characteristics: The film 1) is autoclavable, 2) is trans ⁇ parent, 3) promotes cell attachment and subsequent growth as well as tissue culture plastic, 4) is flexible, 5) is perme ⁇ able to carbon dioxide and oxygen, 6) adheres tightly to the wound 7) prevents water lose, 8) protects the wound from air borne contamination, and 9) detaches from the wound without harming the newly formed epithelium. 10) Any additional layers of dressing required above the FEP film may be applied and/or changed without disturbing the healing process.
  • the FEP film performs both as a growth substrate and a trans ⁇ parent wound dressing.
  • the above mentioned objectives associated with current CEA technology are either entirely or partially achieved when skin cells are grown on FEP hydrocarbon film.
  • treatment time is reduced from more than 3 weeks to 2 weeks, production costs are greatly reduced, take rate is increased, and mechanical stability is increased.
  • the cellular components responsible for pigmentation and dermal matrix remodeling have been placed onto the present film and into the wound.
  • a computer controlled bioreactor has been built and tested to further streamline the process. Process automation will re ⁇ cute manual labor, largely eliminate human error, and increase product uniformity.
