NovoSorb BTM (Biodegradable Temporising Matrix) is a unique synthetic dermal scaffold that provides an effective reconstructive option for a range of complex wounds. BTM is indicated for use in the management of wounds including partial and full thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous and diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, trauma wounds, burns, and scar reconstruction.
This unique matrix is composed of a wound-facing biodegradable open cell foam, bonded to a non-biodegradable transparent sealing membrane.
BTM enables the generation of a vascularised neodermis, which provides a more robust foundation for wound reconstruction than grafting alone, limiting wound scarring and contracture.

Lorenzo Garagnani OSI MD PGDip (Aesthetic & Wellness Medicine) FRCS EBHS DipHandSurg is a dually qualified hand surgeon and aesthetic doctor, with over 15 years experience in both fields. His work and research, focused on increased patient safety, led to the publication of his anatomically based hand rejuvenation injection techniques in the Aesthetic Medicine journal, Mattioli 1885. These techniques are not only based on his experience as a hand surgeon & aesthetic doctor, but also on his anatomy dissection experience, including a cadaveric study he undertook at King's College London, where he is also Honorary Reader.
The techniques drive improved patient safety and outcomes in the fields of hands pro-ageing and rejuvenation.
Lorenzo runs a 3 hour, CPD accredited, practically assessed masterclass to teach these techniques in his London Bridge based clinic, SE1 Medical Aesthetics.
Lorenzo teaches globally on this topic (most recent events being IMCAS Paris, SIES Bologna, SEASON London & Dubai, AMWC Monaco...) and he is also Anatomical/Scientific Director of this topic for SEASON Aesthetic Conferences, within an international evidence-based, not-for-profit, non-commercialised scientific collaboration in the field of aesthetic medicine.
