Skin graft

Skin graft

A 6 year old boy has been dragged along the road by a car with loss of skin on his foot and the bone exposed.The wound has been thoroughly cleaned and all dead tissue removed. A "turn over" flap of skin and subcutaneous tissue was prepared on the lower leg proximal to the damaged foot. Skin grafts have been applied to all raw surfaces. Such a precise job. πŸ‘

Brazillian doctors are taking an experimental approach to treating burns using tilapia fish skin. The fish skin has high levels of collagen type 1, stays moist longer than gauze, and does not need to be changed frequently. Fish skin treatment can speed up healing by several days and reduces the need for pain medication...How cool is that?!

The research they've done is revolutionary. Any injury needing a graft is forever changed because of it.
