title: An easy way to prepare microskin grafts.
abstract: The conventional technique to produce microskin grafts is a relatively time-consuming procedure. We developed an easy method by using a trimmed circular dermacarrier with the non-grooved side up and driving forward in the meshgraft instrument through six different angles that were 30 degrees apart. The tiny skin particles obtained by this method not only saved operation time but also survived well in the grafted wounds.
