Intra-Operative Guidelines

Plan for complete excision within 1-3 days post burn
Best results are obtained by prompt excision and grafting
Timing of product preparation

- Anticipate when the product will be needed and begin
rinsing sheets no later than 15-20 minutes before excision
has been completed

- Add 10 minutes preparation time if meshing as well as 10
additional minutes for a very large area burn
Remove all tissue and debris from the sterile field before application begins
Re-drape area and re-gown as needed. Change gloves before handling INTEGRA^® Template
