Description
Tai-Cheng Kuo and colleagues compare in 2026 two layered skin templates for rebuilding injured fingertips and nail beds in Taiwan. Thirty patients with Allen type one to three injuries were treated between 2020 and 2022. Twelve received Integra and eighteen received Terudermis, both used instead of flap surgery.
At six months the two products gave closely similar results across healing, appearance, feeling, and movement. Skin closed fully in about thirty-nine days on average, and satisfaction averaged near the top of a five point scale. Two-point discrimination averaged under six millimeters on the injured side. The findings support either template as a choice that avoids taking tissue from another site.
