Grafting Skin by Scraping and Transfer Method
A description by Doctor Buermann in a medical journal outlines a skin grafting technique. After rinsing with saline solution, skin is scraped to collect mushlike particles on a blade and transferred to the raw surface. A boric acid salve dressing remains for five to six days. Plaster strips cover the area for a week then are renewed. Over successive renewals, the skin particles spread and cover the wound.
