Effect of transplanted micrografts in full thickness skin defects with Pelnac or Vaseline gauze overlay on days 7 and 14. The figure shows Pelnac or Vaseline gauze overlay on collagen production in full-thickness skin defects on postoperative day 7 (7D) and day 14 (14D), as determined by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson’s trichrome staining (× 50). Scale bars, 500 μm. a Vascularization can be seen in the Pelnac group on day 7. b The minced split-thickness skin graft was attached to the wound base on day 7 in the Vaseline gauze group. c The minced split-thickness skin graft had reached the wound surface through Pelnac on day 7 in the Pelnac group. d The minced split-thickness skin graft had reached the wound surface on day 14 in the Vaseline gauze group. e The structure of the micrograft could not be seen in the Pelnac group on day 14
