A Guide to Managing Donor Sites

A Guide to Managing Donor Sites

A skin graft is a sheet of skin harvested from a donor site. Many times, not only is wound care necessary for two sites, but there are a series of wound healing factors that clinicians must consider, such as the wound depth,

wound location, wound size, patient’s age and co-morbidities. Historically, dressings such as hydrocolloids, alginates, films, silicone dressings, gauze, etc. have been used to cover the skin graft donor sites; however, are you aware of an alternate treatment modality?

Please join our speakers as they present some exciting case experiences and applications of a collagen/ORC dressing that has been recently used to treat and care for donor sites and complex wounds.
