Skin graft storage. Technician placing a piece of skin into a freezer unit for storage. The skin will be grafted onto a patient to repair skin damage from a bad burn or injury. Use of drugs will prevent the patient's immune system attacking the graft. The skin was donated from a cadaver. Photographed at a National Blood Service tissue bank, Newcastle, England.
