Abstract:
In this article we describe the use of an electrosurgical cautery tip scratch pad for the treatment of traumatic (adventitious) tattoos. This inexpensive item is available in most surgical operating rooms. The pad is flexible yet firm and obviates the need for power equipment. Most important, the technique is simple, easy to learn, and highly effective.
