Description
<p> We combined the MEEK system with RECELL, which was approved for clinical insurance use in 2022. Effectiveness and cautionary points were identified during the treatment.<br> A 47-year-old male patient suffered from 70%TBSA burn on the face, upper limbs, lower limbs, and back because of flame from a melting furnace. We performed split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) with the MEEKTM system and RECELL® on the left upper limb, which had lost previous STSG due to infection. After this procedure, we observed rapid epithelialization.<br> The MEEKTM system provides faster epithelialization compared to conventional mesh skin grafting; however, it still takes time especially when we choose a high expansion rate. This case demonstrates that the period of epithelialization can be shortened by utilizing the MEEKTM system and RECELL® together for burn ulcer.</p>
