title: Experimental restoration of skin defects with Surgicel soaked in blood.
abstract: Skin defects of full thickness were produced in 15 rabbits. The wounds were covered with Surgicel soaked in the animal's own blood and fixed at the edges with Histoacryl-N-Blau adhesive. A gradual epithelization took place under the covering layer. The method is suggested as an emergency measure in case of serious burns or other extensive skin injuries.
