Methods: 36 consecutive patients, in whom STSG was performed, were included into the study. STSG are harvested as a usual manner and the donor site are dressed with Aquacel Ag? or Mepitel?, alternatively. The usefulness are compared with re-epithelialization, pain, frequency to change the second dressing, and ease of application.
Results: There are no differences in the days of re-epithelialization, pain perception of patients, but significantly differences in frequency to change the second dressing, and ease of application. Aquacel Ag? is better than Mepitel?.
