Abstract

Various methods for producing skin grafts for rehabilitation of skin defects are carried out in a closed system operated and controlled in an automated manner. A skin biopsy may be separated into a dermis layer and an epidermis layer prior to formation of a skin graft. A total skin graft area produced may be 9 times to 1000 times greater than a total skin biopsy area that provides cells for the graft. Differences in density between dermis and epidermis may aid in separation between a dermis layer and an epidermis layer.
