Types of Grafts for Burns: Autografts, Dermal Regenerator & Tilapia Skin Graft

Autografts

The most employed techniques of skin reconstruction for burns is auto-transplantation (autograft or autologous graft). The latter consists of performing skin grafts by taking the tissue from the patient. The only disadvantage is that these grafts can leave a small scar in the area from which they are obtained.

Xenografts: Tilapia Skin Graft & Dermal Generator

Sometimes the burn is so deep that there is no dermal or fat tissue and the tendons or bone are exposed. In this case, other reconstruction techniques should be used. For example, it can be:

The Dermal Regenerator

It's a type of material developed by tissue Bioengineering. The latter helps the body regenerate a dermis with characteristics very similar to the original.

The fish skin is rich of nutrients and collagen which speeds the healing process.

How long does this reconstruction surgery take?
