Clinically, the dermal template changed into well-vascularized neodermis, and after STSG, full take of the transplants was detected. No infections of the huge ACC areas were seen. Further studies must validate this treatment option in severe and acute cases of JEB-PA with ACC. Based on clinical findings, we postulate that placement of Integra{\textregistered}-Dermal Regeneration Template with STSG could be a new treatment option for patients having JEB-PA with ACC to prevent severe infection, compartment-syndrome-like conditions, and deformities. Based on literature findings, we assume that Integra{\textregistered}-Dermal Regeneration Template with STSG could even be able to prevent new blistering and thereby be a treatment option in cases of ACC and JEB.",
