Effectiveness of double tie-over dressing compared with bolster dressing

The Running Barbed Tie-over Dressing

SUMMARY Barbed suture technology is becoming increasingly popular in plastic surgery and is now being used in body contouring surgery and facial rejuvenation. We describe the novel application of a barbed suture as a running tie-over dressing for skin grafts. The barbs act as anchors in the skin, so constant tensioning of the suture is not required. The bidirectional nature of the suture preven...

Redoable Tie-Over Dressing Using Multiple Loop Silk Threads

After skin grafting, to prevent hematoma or seroma collection at the graft site, a tie-over dressing has been commonly used. However, although the conventional tie-over dressing by suture is a useful method for securing a graft site, refixation is difficult when repeated tie-over dressing is needed. Therefore, we recommend a redoable tie-over dressing technique with multiple loops threads and c...

An Innovative Method of Repeated Tie over Dressing for Fixation of skin Graft

Experience with the Use of Negative Pressure Bolster Dressing for Stabilization of Skin Grafts

DISCLOSURES There were no conflicts of interest, and the researchers did not receive any form of sponsorship for the study. ABSTRACT Background: The ability to apply a skin graft snugly to the bed, and limit shearing forces, goes a long way in determining outcome. It is often a challenge achieving this over highly contoured wounds and wounds located on highly mobile regions of the body, where t...
