Following grafting, the dermal portion is populated with fibroblasts and vessels from the wound bed. The anatomic structure of the artificial dermis resembles normal dermis and serves as a template for the synthesis of new connective tissue and the formation of a "neodermis," while it is slowly biodegraded.
