Primary, secondary, and tertiary dressings used in the experiment. In the full thickness wounds, the meshed split thickness skin grafts were applied to the wound bed and were sprayed with ASCS. Half of the wounds were treated with control dressing as the primary dressings (A, left), while half of the wounds were treated with polymer as the primary dressing (A, right). Both primary dressings were covered in xeroform as the secondary dressing (B). A tie-over bolster was constructed as the outer dressing.
