Aquaplast thermoplastic (Opti-Mold). A unique moldable tie-down dressing for full-thickness skin grafts
1Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, St. Paul-Ramsey Medical Center, MN 55101.
Abstract:
Aquaplast thermoplastic (Opti-Mold), a unique moldable "tie-down" dressing, can be heated, shaped, and sutured in place over full-thickness skin grafts. It allows for excellent uniform pressure over a skin graft while also allowing for drainage from the graft bed, and is particularly useful for the contoured surfaces of the nose and ears.
