Abstract

For covering large raw areas especially in burn cases and donor sites of skin grafting to improve healing large size of skin grafts are required which may not be available in cases of burns or not acceptable by patients to donate large size of skin grafts. To solve this problem, size of the skin graft need to be increased. To increase the size of skin graft various techniques are existing like meshing, micro grafting, meek grafting, pixel graftingusing the specified devices. In the absence of these devices the easy method is to mince the graft mechanically using scissor or surgical knife, but has problem while applying without a device. This article discusses about a spray device for application of minced epidermal-dermal skin graft tested on a donor site of skin graft.
