Harvesting Mouth Lining for a Graft

Delaware rates for HCPCS 40818

Takes a strip of the moist lining from inside the lip or cheek to use as graft material elsewhere in the body. This lining heals fast, copes with being permanently wet, and leaves no visible scar, which makes it a favoured material for rebuilding the urine passage, the lining of an eye socket, or other moist surfaces. The site inside the mouth is stitched or left to heal.
