The most important goal of donor site care is rapid reepithelization without infection and minimum discomfort to the patient. Mediskin?(Pigskin) is a kind of biological dressing and the effects of Mediskin in the treatment of second degree burn were reported by authors. The healing processes of split-thickness skin graft donor site is the same as that of second degree burn. During the past one and half years, skin graft was performed in 90 cases and treatment of the donor sites divided into 5 groups;
Mediskin; Sofratulle group (50 cases)
Mediskin; Amniotic membrane group (10 cases)
Mediskin; Saline gause group (10 cases)
Mediskin; Madecassol gause group (10 cases)
Mediskin; Vaseline group (10 cases)
These groups were divided again into 3 minor groups according to thickness of skin graft; thin, intermediate and thick. We used semi-open method in dressing and checked infection rate and healing time. The infection rate of the donor site was highest in the Mediskin group and the time of re-epithelization was also longest in the Mediskin group. But there were no significant differences between gauze groups in infection rate and healing time. Mediskin could alleviate pain in the donor site and be simple for dressings. These results conclude that the effect of Mediskin in the treatment of split-thickness skin graft donor site not so good because of high infection rate, delayed healing time and high cost.
