Non healing wounds are a major functional and financial burden to the patient and treating surgeon alike. Many methods of adjuvant wound therapy and wound bed preparation exist like Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma injection (APRP), Autologous Lipoaspirate injections (ALA), Bone marrow aspiration therapy (BMAT) etc. Several methods of temporary wound cover are available nowadays like integra, apligraf, collagen etc. Though such temporary dressing materials are available none can meet the biological properties of an allograft. Cadaveric allografts have long been used as a temporary wound cover in patients with extensive burns to reduce the morbidity and mortality in patients. In this article we describe the use of cadaveric allograft as a method for wound bed preparation in patients with non-healing ulcers in a tertiary burns centre.
