SKIN GRAFT SURGERY SET

Model No : SSSS 101

Type : Surgery Set S Series

Specification : 

Skin Graft Surgery Set consists of instruments made of High Grade Stainless Steel.

Skin Graft Surgery Set is used in a surgical operation in which a piece of healthy skin is transplanted to a new site on a patient's body or to a different individual.

Skin grafting is a type of graft surgery involving the transplantation of skin. The transplanted tissue is called a skin graft.

Skin grafting is often used to treat:

Extensive wounding, trauma and burns

Specific surgeries that may require skin grafts for healing to occur - most commonly removal of skin cancers

Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries when some of the body's skin is damaged. Surgical removal (excision or debridement) of the damaged skin is followed by skin grafting. The grafting serves two purposes: reduce the course of treatment needed (and time in the hospital), and improve the function and appearance of the area of the body which receives the skin graft.

There are two types of skin grafts, the more common type is where a thin layer is removed from a healthy part of the body (the donor section) like peeling a potato, or a full thickness skin graft, which involves pitching and cutting skin away from the donor section.
