Clinical experience with glycerol-preserved donor skin treatment in partial thickness burns. 1989

Rode Kruis Ziekenhuis, Burns Centre, Beverwijk, The Netherlands.

The development of glycerol-preserved donor skin by the Dutch National Skin Bank has led to the clinical use of this skin in 57 patients with partial thickness burns treated in the Burns Centre of the Red Cross Hospital in Beverwijk. Practical aspects, as well as clinical results, are presented in this article, leading to the conclusion that glycerol-preserved donor skin is a very easy to store and easy to use as an alternative for the 'conventional' cryopreserved donor skin.
