Fibrin Glue: Its Use for Skin Grafting of Contaminated Burn Wounds in Areas Difficult to Immobilize

Abstract
A human fibrin glue was used in patients with burns for fixation of skin grafts on slightly infected wounds in the axillas, perineum, and the gluteal folds. These areas had been left open after previous skin transplantations. There was stable and safe adhesion and little inflammatory reaction between the graft and the recipient area, resulting in favorable conditions for graft incorporation. By using the glue the last wounds in our patients healed earlier, and the patients' general condition improved.
