    Abstract

    We would like to suggest the use of a simple and relevant mnemonic ('STSG') for the safe use of powered dermatomes to harvest split thickness skin grafts. Safety checklists have been shown to be effective tools for improving patient safety in various clinical settings by improving compliance with good practice and reducing the incidence of adverse events.
