Vitiligo is a disease affecting approximately 6.5 million people in the U.S. resulting in loss of color, or pigmentation, in patches of skin that impacts the quality of life for those living with the condition. Ongoing research with the RECELL^® System for the treatment of skin defects, such as vitiligo and dermatological diseases, helps share experiences among the medical community. Below is a case study provided as background.

Acute full-thickness skin defects that require soft tissue reconstruction can include traumatic wounds such as abrasions and degloving, which is a type of injury where the skin is removed from the underlying tissue. Skin grafting is the standard of care for full-thickness, soft tissue reconstruction. In 2017, approximately 80% of acute wounds that required skin grafting were non-burn-related injuries accounting for more than 200,000 procedures in the U.S. Investigational research with the RECELL^® System for the treatment of soft tissue reconstruction persists in the medical community.
