Where can a donor for a skin draft be?

A donor for a skin graft can be sourced from the patient's own body (autograft), usually from areas with excess skin like the thigh or buttocks, ensuring compatibility and reducing rejection risk. Alternatively, skin can be obtained from a deceased donor (allograft) or from tissue banks that provide processed skin from donors who have consented to donation. In some cases, synthetic skin substitutes may also be used.
