and fat; skin and cartilage; or

GENERAL GRAFTING PROCEDURE

ARTIFICIAL SKIN MANUFACTURING
PROCESS
MAJOR METHODS FOR
MANUFACTURING ARTIFICIAL
SKIN
•Bleeding
•Graft failure
•Infection in either the donor or recipient site
•Distorted healing
•Collection of serum under the recipient site that prevents
growth of new blood vessels
•Increase or decrease sensation in the recipient site
•Lack of graft adherence in recipient area
•Hair may not grow on recipient site
