Fig. 8 — Comparison of epithelial thickness (Left) and number of rete ridges formation (Right) between inverted and regularly placed meshed skin graft treated wounds in the wet environment on day 12. The epithelium in the inverted graft wounds (432 μ) is thicker than regular wounds (312 μ) on day 12 (*p<0.05). There is no significant difference in the number of rete ridges between the two groups (regular, 5.4/mm; inverted, 5.8/mm).
