WHY SHOULD YOU USE XPANSION?
The Xpansion micro-autografting kit allows clinicians to greatly expand the coverage-to-donor-site ratio of autografts, minimizing the size of the patient’s painful donor site while still facilitating durable, autologous closure. The procedure can be performed outside the OR.
The Xpansion device utilizes Meek’s theory of expansion to maximize autologous donor tissue.
Each piece of skin will allow epidermis to migrate from its edges in all directions. By creating micro- autograft squares, migration can occur in multiples allowing greater and greater expansion of a given size of skin graft.
