Show SKIN IS SPRINKLED LIKE SALT IN NEWEST GRAFTING Skin is sprinkled on a wound like salt from a shaker in the latest method of grafting. This process has been developed by rs search workers of the University of Cincinnati college of medicine. The skin, ready for grafting, is ground and put into a modified shaker, then sprinkled over the spot where new skin is desired. The powdered skin grows and spreads and the method corresponds corres-ponds to sowing seed rather than transplanting a tree. Apparently it makes no difference whether or not the skin falls "right side up." Heretofore, it has been the practice to cut layers of skin and fit them over the damaged area. |
