What Does CEA Stand For?
CEA stands for Cultured Epithelial Autograft
CEA, or Cultured Epithelial Autograft, is a medical technique used in regenerative medicine to treat severe skin injuries and burns. This method involves harvesting a small sample of the patient's own skin cells, which are then cultured and expanded in a laboratory to produce a larger quantity of epithelial tissue. The cultured skin cells are subsequently grafted onto the damaged areas, promoting wound healing and enhancing skin regeneration while minimizing the risk of rejection or infection. CEA is recognized for its effectiveness in restoring skin integrity and improving quality of life for patients with extensive skin loss.
