Meek expanded gauze, with 196 island grafts
A recent published article in the Journal Burn Care Res 2016; 2016 reports of 10 burn patients with extensive full-thickness burn injuries (mean size 68% TBSA) that were successfully treated using the MEEK expansion in 1-2 theatre visits and using between 2.5 and 18% of donor site to complete there treatment. All patients recovered well and were discharged from hospital with decreased length of stay. The full article is well worth reading and shows just how far the Modern MEEK technique has come and how much this is now a vital technique for ALL burns centres. More information can be found on the MEEK pages of our site MEEK or by contact Eurosurgical for more information.
