Which of the following is a step involved in the ReCell application?

The correct choice involves mixing a skin sample in an enzymatic solution, which is a critical step in the process of using ReCell technology for treating burn injuries.

ReCell is a spray-on skin regeneration therapy that utilizes a patient’s own skin to promote the healing of burn wounds. The process starts with a small sample of healthy skin being harvested from a less severely affected area. This harvested skin is then subjected to an enzymatic treatment to separate the cells. The enzymatic solution helps to break down the extracellular matrix and liberates the cells from the tissue, creating a suspension of the skin cells.

When these cells are mixed in the solution, they can be sprayed directly onto the wound, providing a layer of cells that assists in the natural regeneration of the skin. This method not only promotes faster healing but also reduces the need for large skin grafts from donor sites, minimizing additional trauma to the patient.

In contrast, the other choices do not accurately reflect steps involved in the ReCell application process, such as sewing harvested skin onto the wound or injecting skin, which are not part of the ReCell methodology focused on cell suspension and regeneration.
