New Study Redefines Reconstructive Surgery

Published

on

Innovative Dermal Template MatriDerm® by MedSkin Solutions Dr. Suwelack AG Transforms Soft Tissue Reconstruction, Offering Economic and Medical Advantages to current clinical practice

BILLERBECK, Germany, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a study led by Prof. Dragu, Professor and Head of the Plastic Surgery Department at the University Medical Center in Dresden, Germany, the effectiveness of MatriDerm®, a dermal template manufactured by MedSkin Solutions Dr Suwelack, AG, has been demonstrated. The new publication, which marks a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery, highlights MatriDerm®’s role in reducing operating room (OR) time, avoiding flap surgery in up to 80% of cases, and eliminating donor site morbidities associated with traditional flap procedures.

Jason Gugliuzza, Vice President & Head of Medcare division, explains: “MatriDerm® has been engineered to support the body’s natural healing process, providing a scaffold for cell ingrowth and skin regeneration. This not only accelerates recovery but also significantly reduces the need for more invasive and costly surgical interventions. This study is truly significant in not only impacting clinical practice but also underlines the economic benefits of MatriDerm®.”

Economic and Medical Value of MatriDerm®

The economic implications of MatriDerm®’s application are profound. By reducing OR time and the necessity for flap surgeries, hospitals and healthcare facilities can allocate resources more efficiently, ultimately leading to cost savings and improved patient outcomes. Moreover, patients benefit from a reduction in the risk of complications that are typical for flap surgery and therefore a quicker return to their daily lives, underscoring MatriDerm®’s value in patient care.

Avoiding Flap Surgery and Donor Site Defects

Prof. Dragu, author of the manuscript, stated: “Flap surgery, while effective, comes with its own set of challenges, including donor site morbidity, extended recovery times and the need of major personnel resources. MatriDerm®’s ability to avoid complex flap surgery in most cases of this published specific morbid patient group represents a major shift in current treatment paradigms. This offers the patients a less invasive but comparable and successful reconstructive result.”

Diana Ferro, CEO of Medskin Solutions Dr Suwelack, added: “MatriDerm® is not just a dermal matrix; it’s a solution that addresses the multifaceted challenges of soft tissue reconstruction. Its economic and medical benefits align with our commitment to improving patient outcomes while supporting healthcare systems around the world.”

The Great Reset, the First Photorealistic AI Film Makes History at the Cannes Film Festival

Published

on

By

The film produced entirely with artificial intelligence positions Spanish filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

CANNES, France, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Following its screening at the European Film Market of the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) last February, the apocalyptic sci-fi thriller ‘The Great Reset’ has been presented at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film. It is the first time that a feature film created with artificial intelligence (AI) has been presented at the world’s leading professional film market, where it has aroused significant interest among distributors and specialised media.

The work, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Daniel H. Torrado, is both a narrative and technological milestone and positions the Spanish filmmaker as a pioneer in a new era of cinema.

The innovative impact of ‘The Great Reset’ has been recognised by the prestigious specialist magazine The Hollywood Reporter, which dedicated in its special edition on the Cannes Film Festival an article entitled ‘Spain tests the waters of artificial intelligence’. The article highlights the pioneering role of the film and especially Torrado’s participation in the advances of artificial intelligence in the audiovisual field.

It is a production of the companies Virtual World Pictures and Canary Film Factory.

The project began in 2023 with the writing of the script. Over the last year, the AI workflow has been designed and optimised, including fine-tuning of the models, to ensure full control over the creativity of the material generated. Although the entire film was computer generated, and all sets and characters were created digitally, some scenes used actors as reference for acting and dubbing.

AI was involved in all stages of production and post-production, from image and animation generation to sound design, but always with human supervision.

“We are very proud to present The Great Reset at the Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film, a space where the most innovative ideas in contemporary cinema converge. It will undoubtedly be a key impulse to introduce the world to this story that explores not only the narrative potential of AI, but also its ability to transform the film industry,” said Torrado.

In the film, an artificial intelligence, created from the mind of an unscrupulous hacker, sets in motion an apocalyptic plan to destroy the world in order to save the only person he has ever loved: his daughter. Faced with the collapse of humanity and the echoes of a broken past, Emma embarks on a desperate race to save the world.
