Transplantation and immobilization of self skin
- Procedure of the autograft using KytoGEL
- Time requirement for the graft fixation: KytoGEL, cyanoacrylate < suture
- Engraftment, healing, epithelization: KytoGEL> suture > cyanoacrylate
- Necrosis occurred on the sealing points around Dermabond.
- KytoGEL was completely degraded during 4-7 days.
