AbstractIt is not always possible to effect immediate closure of wounds and patients' wounds are therefore exposed to risks of desiccation and infection. In the Plastic Surgery Department, Zuider Ziekenhuis, Rotterdam, we have used glycerolized allogeneic donor as a biological dressing in four patients; a polytrauma patient with a compound fracture of the left lower leg; a diabetic with necrotizing fasciitis; a patient with a cat bite on the lower leg, infected with Pasteurella multocida, and a child with large congenital naevi. On clinical grounds there are suggestions of a correlation between the degree of contamination and vascularization of the wound bed and graft take. Furthermore, our experience with the sandwich technique after excision of a large congenital naevus was positive.
