Slide A microporous, absorbable polylactic acid membrane that acts as a skin substitute.

It is highly permeable to oxygen and water vapor, providing a favorable environment for burn healing.
Suprathel was developed analogous to human skin and has properties comparable to natural skin, such as elasticity and impermeability to bacteria.
