Innovative Cost-Effective Application of Donut Dressing in Skin Grafting.

One of the measures for the successful take of a skin graft is the prevention of friction, especially in cases of pressure ulcers in patients with head injury leading to altered sensorium. With existing measures such as the use of a pressure-relieving bed, frequent change of position, etc graft loss is common. Some additional measures are required. This study highlights the role of a donut-shaped ring dressing to protect the skin graft from friction.
