Clipping, shaving, and depilation methods of hair removal were evaluated on porcine skin in preparation for its use as a bioassay substrate for thermal injury. Each method provides distinct advantages and disadvantages. Criteria for selecting the proper methodology are identified for a bioassay substrate for thermal injury studies.
