the present invention provides a reepithelialization / wound healing implant device comprising a barrier layer and one or more polymer layers doped with agents that promote one or more processes in reepithelialization / wound healing . the implant : provides a temporary mechanical / chemical barrier to species within the external environment that inhibit epithelial migration ; biodegrades at an appropriate rate while tissue remodeling is occurring ; and delivers active cytokines and growth factors in a choreographed pattern to promote reepithelialization .
