Zusammenfassung:A new and useful method for regenerative repair of wounds implementing photonic wound debridement and stem cell deposition is presented which consists of a Wound Assessment and Debridement, Wound Infrastructure Building, and Cell Deposition phases. The present invention allows structured regenerative repair of the wound, utilizes robotic systems to inspect, define and debride the wound, and prints an extracellular matrix on the prepared wound site which speeds healing using developing stem cell technologies. This device is believed to be useful in hospitals and clinics, wherein patients with wounds related to skin trauma such as burns, infection, or melanoma are present. An example of a theatre of use is a children's burn ward. This device is also believed to be useful in military hospitals which receive soldiers injured in combat.
