The efficiency of the mesh graft used in lacerating wound was evaluated when compared to another wound treated by second intention. The debridement of the wound was performed, the necrotic tissue was removed for subsequent granulation tissue formation and graft application. The transplanted skin was collected from the thoracic region with the same measures of the defect to be corrected. The preparation of the graft consisted of the removal of adipose tissue, and later, with the use of the scalpel blade, several rectilinear cuts were made, leaving it with mesh pattern. The graft was fixed to the wound with the use of a separate single suture. After the surgical procedure, a bandage with hydrogel was applied to the limb of the animal, where the dressing change occurred at intervals of four days. We concluded that the wound treatment in the MTE using the graft was efficient with total wound healing when compared to the non-grafted MTD treatment.
