Benefits of the Procedure

Skin grafting can be a beneficial treatment option for those looking to heal large wounds, burns, and foot ulcers. It can also help to restore skin that’s been severely damaged or affected by a tumor removal or serious skin infection.

MyOwnSkin

MyOwnSkin is a skin graft that uses 100% of a patient’s own skin in order to heal severely damaged skin. A small skin and blood sample are taken to grow a patch of the patient’s own skin, which usually takes around a week. Depending on the size of the wound, another skin and blood sample may be required. Once the patch is ready, a professional will perform the application. For more information on skin grafts, and to decide if this is the right treatment option for you, please speak with a podiatrist.
