What is Surface Electrical Capacitance as an Index of Epidermal Barrier Properties of Composite Skin Substitutes and Skin Autografts about?
Restoration of the epidermal barrier is a requirement for burn wound closure . A rapid, reliable, and noninvasive measure of the rate of restoration of the epidermal barrier is not readily available . To monitor the reformation of the epidermal barrier, we measured surface electrical capacitance on cultured skin substitutes (human keratinocytes and fibroblasts attached to collagen-glycosaminoglycan substrates) and split-thickness skin autografts grafted to patients . Data were collected from four patients with burns and one pediatric patient with a congenital hairy nevus comprising > 60% total body surface area. Capacitance measurements were performed at days 7, 10, 12, 14, and 28 by direct contact of the capacitance probe for 10 seconds to the cultured skin substitutes or split-thickness autograft . On postoperative days 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28, the surface electrical capacitance of cultured skin substitutes after 10 seconds of sampling was 2468
