“…The deep plexus supplies vessels to the pilosebaceous units and the superficial plexus. Arteriovenous anastomoses also exist in the region [6,7]. The superficial plexus originates vascular loops within the papillary dermis.…”

Skin Grafts for Successful Wound Closure

Skin grafting is a useful technique that has been used for a very long time for achieving closure of wounds when it cannot occure in a natural conventional manner. There are different types of grafts according to their origin, thickness and form. There are 3 main types of graftsthat are used to cover wounds: Split-thickness skin grafts, full-thickness skin grafts and composite grafts. Each of them has specific indication and has a unique technique for harvesting. If the graft is not taken care of properly its survival can be compromised and necrosis of the graft can occur. Even though complications may present, skin grafting is still considered a practical approach to repair many type of wounds.

“…Plasma imbibition is the passive exchange of nutrients across a diffusion gradient. 2 This phase begins immediately after the placement of the graft, and it continues until blood flow is established approximately 48 hours later. During this process, a fibrin network develops that holds the graft in place.…”

“…Traditional bolstering techniques and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) devices have been used to immobilize grafts and prevent potential space formation. 1,2 However, these techniques can be cumbersome when used in head and neck grafts or patients who do not require hospitalization. Fundamentally, imbibition and graft success are dependent on a technique that provides immobility.…”

“…The best technique of securing the graft to the recipient site in areas of high mobility such as head, neck, and upper extremity, where motion of the repair is apt to disrupt the graft, remains debatable. Traditional bolstering techniques and vacuum‐assisted closure (VAC) devices have been used to immobilize grafts and prevent potential space formation 1,2 . However, these techniques can be cumbersome when used in head and neck grafts or patients who do not require hospitalization.…”

“…[5][6][7][8] Adherence of a skin graft to the wound bed in a highly mobile area is essential to the success of the repair. 1,9 Our group looks to quantify strength of skin graft tissue adherence with the use of a fibrin sealant compared with traditional bolster technique in a highly mobile dorsal skin graft rat model. The amount of force required to displace the graft from the recipient site is examined.…”
