The important limiting factor in the treatment of the severely burned patient is the lack of autograft donor skin. The method of obtaining uniform widely expanded postage stamp autografts described by Meek in 1963 has been evaluated in this study amongst seven severely bur,led patients. The expansion ratio of 1:4, 1:6 1:9 was mostly used. After the removal of polyamide gauze on seventh post-operative day the autografts island were covered with overlay allograft, if the expansion ratio of 1:6 and above was used. The mean epithelialization rate was 90% within 4-5 weeks. The preliminary experience suggests, and proves that, it is a method of choice in severely burned patients.
