Study of effects of porcine skin and bovine dermis on the healing of split-skin graft donor sites in humans.
A study was undertaken of the effects of heterografts (lyophilized porcine skin or bovine dermis) on the healing of split-skin graft donor sites. When compared with a petrolatum gauze dressing, no advantages were found. Some disadvantages developed, however, which led us to discontinue their use.
