title: ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿A novel method for wound healing-skin suspension accelerates donor site wound healing ﻿.
abstract: ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿The purpose of this study was to apply a skin suspension to accelerate wound healing at the skin donor site.
  
  
  METHODS
  A small fragment of skin was collected after skin transplantation had been performed. The skin suspension was prepared by mixing the small fragments of skin tissue with the same volume of normal saline. The suspension was then applied to the donor site. Donor sites without skin suspension were employed as controls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Faster healing was found at the donor sites that had been covered with skin suspension and with less scar formation compared to controls.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Skin suspension prepared from residual graft skin can ameliorate donor site wound healing.
