Abstract
Full- and split-thickness skin grafts continue to serve a vital role in lower extremity
wound coverage, and meticulous preparation of the recipient site is vital to incorporation
of the transplanted skin. A technique for the rapid, controlled preparation of full-thickness
skin grafts and creation of thick-split thickness skin grafts from full-thickness
donor tissue, using a high-pressure stream of saline solution, is described.
