| description | INTRODUCTION: Fixing a skin graft is essential to its integration in the recipient bed. The literature presents several fixation techniques. However, only few reports on the use of microporous tape are available. This study aims to demonstrate and promote the use of microporous tape in fixing skin grafts.
METHODS: A prospective study was performed from January 2014 to January 2016. In 40 patients, a sterilized microporous tape was used as an isolated method to fix skin grafts.
RESULTS: The use of skin graft immobilization showed satisfactory results and consequently good integration.
CONCLUSION: The use of a sterilized microporous tape is an excellent method for fixing skin grafts because it is easy, fast, and safe to use. |
