Re: Obtaining Skin to Create Skin Grafts
It's done to cadavers who were donors and whilst the patient is under anaesthetic - they won't feel it. It'll sting afterwards in surgical cases no doubts  I used to help prep a body to remove skin from the chest downwards. I hated that damn potato peeler device they used, brrrr!!!!! It was the top few layers that were removed, to just above the muscle and fat layer. |

Re: Obtaining Skin to Create Skin Grafts
Live people give skin grafts too though. Especially if you need a graft yourself it is taken from a part of your body.

Re: Obtaining Skin to Create Skin Grafts
Medical term for the instrument is a 'dermatome'. Cheese slicer is better tho. |
