every country have a dozen start ups rushing to patent the same thing
globally.
it's mostly a game or passing trials for something that's obviously
good and the alternative so far have 100% death* (burns over 80%). it
just shows how ineffective is the whole system.
* but the investors are way more interested in permanent wound cases
and they will price those like they usually price things with low
mortality but high quality is life.

I have personal experience with artificial skin products. Someone
close to me had a persistent wound on their lower leg that would not
heal. Repeated debridement, hyperbaric oxygen, and such didn't get it
to heal, but application of patches of a (then new) cultured skin
product healed it immediately. Huge QoL improvement.

Was there any specific reason why it wouldn't heal no matter what?
Something like diabetes maybe? As far as I know wounds that don't
want to heal are pretty rare in people with more or less normal
health..

Not diabetes. I don't think it was ever really determined, even
though a skin sample was sent to the Mayo Clinic.

They were cut with a morgul blade, that wound wouldâve never
healed without elvish medicine.
