Dress and care for epidermal graft
sites using the protocols typically used for thick split-thickness
skin grafts
Similar to dressing INTEGRA™ Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix sites, build dressings
in layers and immobilize joints in a flexed position
Change dressings every third day
or as needed
If the epidermal graft seems
to "disappear", obtain cultures. In some cases,
this is typically the result of the graft being too
thin or the presence of infection.
- If negative,
continue to dress normally
- If positive,
administer antibiotics and continue to monitor closely
