Abstract:
Reusable loop stitches are a good method of securing the stent in skin grafts. Two suture methods are presented: the free-loop and the loose-loop suture technique. Their main advantage is that they provide a loop of suture that can be repeatedly rethreaded with suture, thereby permitting reexaminations and re-stentings of the graft site without additional anesthesia.
