Composition
SUPRATHEL® is purely synthetic and therefore does not bear any residual risks as can be the case with biological products of human or animal origin. Upon final resorption, PMI’s SUPRA EPT™ leaves only CO2 and H2O in the wound bed.
Polymer:
Lactide-base copolymer
Metabolism:
Hydrolytically (to CO2 and H2O)
Permeability to water vapor:
40 – 70 ml/m2 (hour), 1,000 – 1,700 ml/m2 per day
Porosity:
70% – 80%
Indications
SUPRATHEL® is intended for the management of wounds that include:
- Superficial and partial thickness burns
- Split-thickness skin graft donor sites
- Partial and full thickness wounds
- Cuts and abrasions
- Trauma, acute, superficial, and surgical wounds

Shift to Synthetics
SUPRATHEL® is an innovative, pioneering, and proven synthetic skin substitute that has revolutionized the treatment of epidermal and dermal wounds. The product that kicked off the Shift to Synthetics over 20 years ago is now used as the standard of care in over 40 countries around the world to treat partial thickness burns, split-thickness skin graft (STSG) donor sites, and abrasions.
Like a second skin
Like a second skin, SUPRATHEL® covers the wound and leads it through a quick, complication-free healing process. SUPRATHEL® was developed to be analogous to the human skin and shares the same properties such as elasticity, permeability to water vapor, and impermeability to bacteria.
Single application
SUPRATHEL® is a single application product that is applied directly to a disinfected and debrided wound bed, where it stays intact until the wound is completely healed. After it is applied, the membrane becomes translucent, thus facilitating the inspection of the healing process. Single application is a win for the patient, and for busy providers.
