Abstract

Subcutaneous infiltration of warm Ringer's lactate solution has been used to facilitate the harvesting of split-thickness skin grafts from ordinarily irregular donor sites in over 400 patients. The technic is simple, relatively inexpensive, and safe when utilized with care and judgment. The quality of skin obtained from donor sites on the chest, back, buttocks, or extremities is superior to that obtained without the use of this technic.
