Abstract
Using adhesive drapes and a disposable suction drain, the grafted area is compressed by positive pressure that is equivalent to the negative pressure of a suction drain. With this dressing method, the graft can be observed throughout the postoperative course, and can be applied with uniform and constant pressure. Thin drapes accommodate well to various shapes, so this method is uniquely qualified in free skin grafting of hands.
