Published: November 2007

A streamlined method of skin grafting in mice is described. This procedure eliminates bandages, sutures, and dressings. The elimination of bandages renders the overall procedure fast and easy to learn. More importantly, the elimination of bandaging results in an increased survival of engrafted mice and a drastic reduction in graft displacement. Finally the lack of bandages also makes it possible to monitor the graft even in the earliest stages after engraftment.
