Here’s why GraftGuide is indispensable for burn treatment:
Accelerated Recovery: GraftGuide streamlines graft application in burn cases, expediting healing and reducing patient recovery times. By facilitating precise placement, it optimizes the integration process, enabling patients to heal faster and return to their lives sooner.
Decreased Length of Stay: With GraftGuide, hospitals can significantly reduce the length of stay for burn patients. Its efficiency in graft application minimizes the need for prolonged hospitalization, leading to cost savings and improved resource allocation.
“GraftGuide’s efficiency in graft application minimizes the need for prolonged hospitalization…”
Coverage for Large Areas: GraftGuide is uniquely equipped to handle extensive burn injuries. Its adaptable design enables surgeons to cover large areas efficiently, providing comprehensive wound coverage with precision and ease.
Enhanced Patient Comfort: GraftGuide prioritizes patient comfort throughout the healing process.
For these huge Necrotizing Fasciitis wounds, or huge degloving injuries from trauma, I’m using those larger [Kerecis meshed] pieces and we’re actually saving a lot of money by using those larger pieces.
