Split-thickness skin graft donor sites are often areas of significant morbidity in the elderly, in immunocompromised patients, and in steroid-dependent patients. We found that managing these donor sites with split-thickness skin and transparent dressings greatly increases the rate of healing and diminishes morbidity.
