Maximizing wound coverage in full-thickness skin defects: A randomized-controlled trial of autologous skin cell suspension and widely meshed autograft versus standard autografting Henry et al. (J Trauma Acute Care Surg., 2024) Experimental (Randomized Controlled Trial) Surgical & traumatic wounds

In patients with nonthermal full-thickness wounds, treatment with RECELL plus widely meshed autograft significantly reduced donor skin requirements by 27% compared to less widely meshed autografting.

Wound healing and scar patterning after addition of autologous skin cell suspension to meshed grafts Collins et al. (J Surg Res., 2024) Foundational Research Surgical wounds

In porcine full-thickness wounds treated with 3:1 meshed autograft, the addition of RECELL significantly increased rate of re-epithelialization of interstices at early time points.

Analysis of real-world length of stay data and costs associated with use of autologous skin cell suspension for the treatment of small burns in U.S. centers Carson et al. (Burns, 2023) Observational Burns

Use of RECELL for small burns (<20% TBSA) in U.S. centers was associated with an average 2.1 day reduction in length of stay, translating to a $22,268 cost savings per patient.

Length of stay and costs with autologous skin cell suspension versus split-thickness skin grafts: Burn care data from US centers Carter et al. (Adv Ther., 2022) Observational Burns

Use of RECELL for burns up to 50% TBSA in U.S. centers was associated with an average 3.3 day reduction in length of stay, translating to a $36,949 cost savings per patient.

Cost-effectiveness of the use of autologous cell harvesting device compared to standard of care for treatment of severe burns in the United States Kowal et al. (Adv Ther., 2019) Foundational Research Burns

Economic models demonstrate that hospital length of stay accounts for up to 70% of cost reductions, with estimated per-patient savings ranging from $31,000 to over $150,000, and projected annual savings of $5.3 to $6.8 million for a representative U.S. burn center treating 200 patients.

Demonstration of the safety and effectiveness of the RECELL® System combined with split-thickness meshed autografts for the reduction of donor skin to treat mixed-depth burn injuries Holmes et al. (Burns, 2019) Experimental (Randomized Controlled Trial) Burns

In patients with mixed-depth burns (inclusive of full-thickness), treatment with RECELL plus widely meshed autograft significantly reduced donor skin requirements by 32% compared to less widely meshed autografting.

A comparative study of the RECELL Device and autologous split-thickness meshed skin graft in the treatment of acute burn injuries Holmes et al. (J Burn Care Res., 2018) Experimental (Randomized Controlled Trial) Burns

In patients with deep partial-thickness burns, treatment with RECELL alone significantly reduced donor skin requirements by 97.5% compared to 2:1 meshed autografting. The RECELL donor site resulted in significantly less pain, faster healing, and improved patient satisfaction.

A comparative study of spray keratinocytes and autologous meshed split-thickness skin graft in the treatment of acute burn injuries Sood et al. (Wounds, 2015) Experimental (Randomized Controlled Trial) Burns

In patients with partial-thickness burns, treatment with RECELL alone resulted in decreased donor size and comparable healing outcomes compared to meshed autografting alone.

Sprayed keratinocyte suspensions accelerate epidermal coverage in a porcine microwound model Navarro et al. (J Burn Care Rehabil., 2000) Foundational Research Surgical wounds

In porcine full-thickness wounds treated with 3:1 meshed autograft, the addition of RECELL resulted in faster and better quality of epithelialization at the cellular level.
