Dressing The Skin Grafting


In result of the 3rd degree..(I guess) burned on lower right arm and partial of lower left arm of K.Long, my SIL, she had to undergo a skin grafting surgery. A 'good' skin graft was harvested from her higher left leg and being place and staples at the affected area. Prior to that, every 3 days she has to go for the dressing on affected area.

A dressing is an adjunct used by a person for application to a wound in order to promote healing and/or prevent further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, which makes it different from a bandage, which is primarily used to hold a dressing in place. Dressings are frequently used in first aid and nursing.

These videos showing how the dressing was done to Kak Long hand 2 weeks after skin grafting operations... Scary.. like snake skin peel off.. with a shed of blood...
