spray-on skin

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
'spray-on' skin
A polymer for covering superficial 2nd-degree burn wounds; SOS is no longer used as it is contraindicated in deep 2nd and 3rd degree burns–where it would have been most useful–due to ↑ superficial infections and non-adherence. See Artificial skin, Split-thickness graft.
