INTRODUCTION. Extensive burns that have affected the extremities producing functional defects and permanent quality of life, have been the challenge facing reconstructive surgery. OBJECTIVE. Demonstrate the effectiveness of the use of the dermal acellular regeneration matrix to achieve a definitive and functional skin coverage in the treatment of deep injuries caused by burns. CLINICAL CASE. A 29-year-old male patient, who suffered thermal burn with contact cement and fire, presented a burn of 45% of total body surface area, was treated with acellular dermal matrix with focus on third degree lesion in an entire upper extremity. RESULTS. The patient after 6 months of reconstruction didn´t present functional limitation, aesthetically acceptable scars. DISCUSSION. Dermal substitutes helped in the treatment of skin coverage defects. The acellular dermal matrix and its use in the burned patient, allowed to provide a precocious permanent skin coverage, with optimal results, avoiding generating deep wounds in donor sites, which decreased the morbidity in the patient with severe burns.
