Skin grafting is a well established technique for reconstructing areas of skin loss or excision in the hand. Traditional tie-over sutures often require operator assistance, do not allow adequate control when knotting and may cause unnecessary trauma to the graft when removed. We describe a new looped suture tie-over technique to secure and fix the graft dressings that is simple, quick, allows better knot-tying control and can be removed atraumatically.
