Abstract

Glycerol preserved allograft (GPA) has been studied and used since the 1980s. However, the expansion of the application of GPA still has many difficulties related to culture, resources, science and technology, especially in developing countries.
Currently, the National Burn Hospital (Vietnam) has studied the recovery and preservation of allograft skin in 85% Glycerol. To widely apply GPA in clinical, we have built a procedure to use GPA in the treatment of deep burns and apply in the treatment of 30 patients with severe burns; the results show that: GPA adhesion well on the foundation grafting, has the effect of covering, protecting, and affecting the healing process of deep burns.
