Abstract：
:Sorbsan is a new dressing composed of alginate fibers extracted from seaweed. It is claimed to have important hydrophilic, haemostatic and biocompatible qualities. Sorbsan was used in the treatment of the donor site of split skin grafts in 52 patients operated in this department from 1988 to 1990. The patients of this series required a skin graft for various reasons as detailed below: a) skin burns in 24 cases; 2) covering of a muscle flap used in the treatment of sacral pressure sores in 15 cases; c) 13 cases of loss of substance from other various causes. Healing time averaged 16.8-13.4 and 9.3 days respectively in the three groups reported above. In 85% of cases, healing was achieved in a period variable between one and two weeks and a half, varying in accordance with patient age and general conditions. The speed of healing, particularly where thin grafts were taken, allowed multiple split skin grafts to be taken from the same donor site, facilitating the treatment of extensive skin burns. The dressing can be removed with ease with only minimal discomfort to the patient. The incidence of side effects such as itching and scar hypertrophy or pigmentation is low. We haven't noticed any allergic reaction in this series. We found the use of this dressing satisfying in the treatment of donor sites of split skin grafts, particularly in terms of patient comfort and speed or healing.
