The Humeca MEEK system is a unique and effective method to use very small areas of STGS to cover a large area. Expansion up to 9:1 is easier to achieve with this unique method of skin expansion. Whereas normal skin meshers expand a single sheet of autograft by creating horizontal holes into the graft, the MEEK system cuts 196 small island grafts from a single 42mmx42mm STSG. These small islands are expanded by a gauze that also serves to hold and fixated the graft onto the wound bed.
