Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare how well two methods (VAC and G-SUC) of securing skin grafts using negative pressure wound therapy work. Negative pressure wound therapy is a commonly used method of applying suction on wounds to remove fluid from wound and to promote healing. The VAC system is widely used and consists of a foam dressing and a portable computerized suction pump. The G-SUC method uses commonly available dressing supplies attached to vacuum (suction) pump located on the wall above a hospital bed. The investigators have frequently used both methods over the past 10 years and have not observed any specific negative side effects of either.

Primary Outcome

For each wound, the percentage of the skin graft that took by Day 4 or 5 was calculated. Complete take is defined as 100% take or skin graft incorporation.
