Abstract:
A simple technique for harvesting skin grafts of predetermined size, shape, and thickness in rodents is described. In this technique, the donor skin is immobilized and tensed by means of a tongue depressor, or similar template, inserted into the loose areolar tissue below the panniculus, stretching the overlying skin to permit easy dermatome harvesting of a skin graft.
