Original Source: Simultaneous Very-Thick Split-Thickness and Split-Thickness Skin Grafting for Treating Burned Limbs.
To achieve the goals of burn wound coverage and prevention of burn scar contracture, the author applied very-thick split-thickness (to mobile surfaces) and ordinary split-thickness (to nonmobile surfaces) skin grafting to burned wounds simultaneously. Using a Padgett dermatome to harvest very-thick split-thickness skin (0.024-0.026 in) is a simple and time-saving procedure. The initial results were good and patients had a better outcome and shorter home stay before resuming work.
