Medical - Medical: Instruments / Pharmaceutical testing study for hernia surgery related implant
German term or phrase: Verluste an Hautgewebe
Permacol™ Biologisches Implantat ist für die dauerhafte Implantation in Patienten vorgesehen. Es eignet sich für die Rekonstruktion, Rekonturierung und den Wiederaufbau von humanem Weichgewebe, besonders in Fällen, in denen **Verluste an Hautgewebe** vorliegen, und als Stützgewebe bei chirurgischen Eingriffen wie Bauchdeckenhernien und Bauchwanddefekte

Could this simply be "loss of skin tissue?" or "substance loss?"

Many thanks.
