Taking A Skin Sample To Grow A Graft

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 15040

A small piece of the patient's own skin is harvested so that skin cells can be grown in a laboratory into a sheet large enough to cover a wound. The harvest itself is a short procedure; the cultured sheet is applied at a later operation. It is used for extensive burns and other wounds where there is too little healthy skin to graft directly.
