Comparative study of mineral oil and talcum powder as lubricants for cutting of skin grafts in burns.
Although the series is a very small one, the results of this study would seem to indicate that mineral oil is a better vehicle compared with talcum powder for use as lubricant for the donor site of skingrafts. Better results may be expected by deferred grafting after preparation of the recipient site by scraping of granulation.
