    Apligraft - an artificial skin graft made in the laboratory from components of neonatal foreskin. Cells are taken and grown in the lab, then are combined to make a piece of living, bioengineered skin, roughly two and a-half by two and a-half inches. The Apligraft has many advantages over the traditional skin graft. It’s not a surgical procedure; instead, the Apligraft is simply placed on the wound where it stimulates the patient’s healing process. It doesn’t require the removal of another piece of the patient’s skin for use in the graft. Unlike a traditional skin graft which looks like a piece or “patch” of unchanged skin, the Apligraft looks better when it heals, contracting to a fine scar.
