Numerous public and private health actors are participating in this development with a budget of 100 million euros ($106 million) that should end in 2030.

The technological challenges to overcome are not few.

“You have to be able to recreate all of the skin’s functionalities,” such as protection against external threats or thermal regulation, explains Guirec Le Lous, president of the Urgo medical branch, a family business created in 1880.

In the laboratory they keep cold live cells before cultivating them.

“Are we capable of conceiving an artificial skin in a laboratory? No one has achieved it so far in the world”says the leader, without wanting to reveal the technology used or the type of cells used.

The industrial part must also be considered because this treatment must be “available to all and at a good price”. It’s a “crazy” project, he says.

Urgo has one long experience in treating chronic soresfor example for the diabetic feet or leg ulcers.

And “since the 2000s, we have been working with materials that will correct healing failures: the dressing has become intelligent, interactive with the wound, allowing it to be effective,” says Laurent Apert, Urgo’s research director.
