Basically it's a spray gun. They remove stem cells from the skin of the burn victim, then spray them on the wound. The problem with burns has always been infection. They've tried growing skin, but it takes quite awhile for the skin "patch" to grow. This is a very fast method of covering the burn with the patient's own cells to form a barrier against infection and, of course, to speed new skin formation.
