Split Thickness Skin Graft (STSG)
Partial thickness skin in STSGs are performed by harvesting via dermatome the donor site. Donor sites are typically taken from a flat surface on the thigh, lower back, or gluteal region to allow for a graft of even thickness and the selection of donor site is to be based on clinical standard practice. These grafts are placed on the prepared recipient site.
Base of wound fat graft with STSG Reconstruction (Autologous Layered Composite Grafting).
Autologous Layered Composite Grafting consists of the layered strategy of simultaneous fat and skin grafting. Fat is harvested by minimally invasive liposuction and applied directly to the wound base without any chemical or biologic processing. Skin is harvested as a split thickness skin graft by dermatome and applied over the layer of adipose tissue.
