Abstract

To rescue a badly burn-injured patient, autoskin graft following complete elimination of necrotic burn tissue (burn eschar) is necessary. Transfusion treatment for a burn patient has drastically improved; however, burn eschar removal (debridement) has not progressed for several decades. The one issue in debridement is uncertain judgment of the boundary between burn eschar and residual normal skin tissue. Consequently, skin graft growth becomes unreliable by the presence of necrotic tissue.
