Device typeSkin xenograft: Skin tissue intended for transplantation that is harvested from an animal donor (e.g., porcine source) and implanted in a human recipient. The tissue is used to temporarily replace skin (for a few days) typically lost due to extensive wounds and burns, when sufficient tissue from the patient or skin banks is not available, to cover and protect the lesions and reduce fluid loss. This is a single-use device.
