What is meant by skin graft take?

"Skin graft take" refers to the successful adherence and integration of a transplanted skin graft to the underlying tissue at the recipient site. This process involves the graft establishing a blood supply and healing with the surrounding skin, which is crucial for its long-term viability. A successful take is indicated by the absence of necrosis and the graft becoming vascularized, ultimately blending with the surrounding skin. Poor take can result from factors like infection, inadequate blood supply, or movement at the graft site.
