Abstract
Non healing ulcers are a burden to the patient as they are difcult to treat. They also affect patient's quality of life. A series of 2 patients – one with chronic venous ulcer and other with diabetic foot ulcer were included. Epidermal grafts were harvested and applied using Cellutome epidermal harvesting system (KCI) with no anesthesia. After transferring the harvest of epidermal blisters, 4 layer compression bandaging was given. Both the patients tolerated the procedure with no complications involving donor as well as recipient sites. Photographs were taken during various phases of healing. 1 week follow up showed 63% reduction in wound area. Donor site was completely healed by this time. Reduction in ulcer size of upto 99% was seen in 8 weeks.
