AWBAT™ is an Advanced Wound Bioengineered Alternative Tissue – a temporary wound dressing for coverage of superficial partial-thickness burn wounds, donor sites, and meshed autografts until healing occurs.

Recently, principles of biochemistry and bioengineering have been employed to provide clinicians with the most advantageous temporary skin substitute. It is believed that AWBAT™, by design, beneficially expands upon the attributes of existing temporary skin substitutes to better fulfill the ideal properties of a bioengineered alternative tissue.

These desirable properties of an ideal temporary skin substitute include the maximization of: adherence, moisture permeability control, infection control, safety, pain management, physical adaptability, transparency, stability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of application and removal.

Improvements in porosity and manufacturing methodology intend to increase AWBAT™´s capabilities over existing products to better fulfill the ideal properties of a skin substitute. Design enhancements were aimed at:

• Better acute adherence through the increased mobility of collagen and more optimized porosity.
• Better moisture permeability control through an increase in and more uniform distribution of porosity.
• Better safety through the elimination of cross-linking agents.
• Better coverage options through a wide variety of sizes.

E. Aubrey Woodroof, Ph.D., M.B.A.
Dr. Aubrey Woodroof invented Biobrane® in 1978, an innovative product which revolutionized the burn care industry and helped burn survivors around the world to heal better and faster. Biobrane® maintains a key role in burn management to this day, 30 years later. At the end of 2007, Aubrey literally came out of retirement to form Aubrey Inc. and to create AWBAT™, the next generation of advanced wound care technology.
