Hyaluronic—Carboxymethylcellulose Membrane as a Biologic Barrier in Flap Delay
HA membranes can safely serve as degradable barriers in flaps undergoing the delay phenomenon. We speculate that HA membrane reduces reestablishment of microvascular network between the flap and its wound bed and may contribute to augmentation of the remaining circulation within the delayed flap.
