Initial evaluation of the application of autologous protein gel in the treatment of extensive skin loss wounds

Objective: Develop a process and evaluate the effects of local treatment with protein gel on the patient’s skin graft wound. Subjects and methods: The case series study reported the results of treating skin loss wounds with protein gel application on 5 patients at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology - 7A Military Hospital from August 2023 to November 2023. Results: At the time of removing the skin graft bandage (day 7), a very good adhesion rate of the skin graft to the graft base was recorded (from 92-97%). After 2 weeks of transplantation, the graft skin adhesion rate reached 97-100%. By 4 weeks after transplantation, the grafted skin adhered 100% to the graft base in all 5 patients and all patients reported good results after skin grafting. Conclusion: The use of protein gel in the skin grafting process increases the adhesion of the grafted skin, reduces pain, reduces exudate at the wound, and increases the survival rate of the grafted skin.
