SKIN GRAFT FIXATION BY PLASMA-THROMBIN ADHESION*

An Innovative Method of Repeated Tie over Dressing for Fixation of skin Graft

The Fixation and Dressing for Meshed and Sheet Skin Graft

When a graft is placed on a recipient bed, the process of accepting the graft begins. For some hours, the graft is bathed and nourished by plasmatic circulation or serum imbibition. Si‐ multaneously, fortuitous and accidental apposition of the vessels in the bed and those in the graft allows blood to be sucked into the graft. Soon afterwards, active penetration of the graft by blood vessels fro...

A new method of full thickness skin graft fixation.

A technique of free full thickness skin graft fixation utilising central and paracentral sutures between the graft and the depths of the recipient bed is described. The intrinsic fixation provided by these sutures allow larger free grafts, thus eliminating the need to use local flaps. These sutures also allow double free grafts-mucosal and dermal-for full thickness lower eyelid reconstructions....

Comparison between Conventional Mechanical Fixation and Use of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in Wound Beds Prior to Resurfacing with Split Thickness Skin Graft

BACKGROUND Platelet rich plasma is known for its hemostatic, adhesive and healing properties in view of the multiple growth factors released from the platelets to the site of wound. The primary objective of this study was to use autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) in wound beds for anchorage of skin grafts instead of conventional methods like sutures, staplers or glue. METHODS In a single ...

Evaluating the effect of medical honey and stapler on skin graft fixation in burn wounds: A Randomized clinical Trial

Background: One of the uses of honey is related to wound healing. A stapler normally connects the skin graft to the underlying tissue. Due to its high cost, lack of production in the country, and causing physical damage to the tissue, an alternative option is needed. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of using medical honey compared to staplers in attaching skin grafts to burn...
