Artificial skin saves life at Massachusetts General Hospital
Mark Walsh, burned in an aerosol can factory blast, received experimental artificial skin at Massachusetts General Hospital after 80 percent of his body was damaged. Over four days surgeons covered his wounds with grafted skin and the new material, not rejected, aiding recovery and reducing infection risk. Walsh faces a year of therapy but expects to resume work with minimal visible scarring.
