Simple pressure bandage technique for free skin grafts

American Journal of Ophthalmology
G M Shannon, D H Saunders

Abstract

We applied sterile packed cellulose sponges in the dehydrated state as a pressure dressing from skin grafts by using the classic "tie-over" technique. At the end of the procedure, the sponges were hydrated, and provided flat, even pressure to a localized area. By using this simple technique, we obtained 26 of 27 successful free skin grafts with flat apposition.
