Established nearly 30 years ago, the New York Firefighters Skin Bank is the only comprehensive skin bank in New York State, providing allograft skin grafts to patients throughout the region. Allograft skin grafts enable burn victims to fight infection, maintain their fluids and body heat, and control pain. The Skin Bank also provides cryopreservation services so that patients can bank their own skin for future autologous transplantation.
