Surgical pearl: Use of micropore tape for easy harvestation and transfer of suction blister epidermal graft

Epidermal graft produced by suction is useful in treating vitiligo. However, it is very difficult to handle thin, flimsy, and translucent epidermis due to its in-curling and wrinkling properties. This is due to the hemispherical blister roof surface area which is twice its circular base. The correction of the epidermal surface and its resizing is a cumbersome and time-consuming task during epidermal grafting. To combat these problems, the blister roof is patched with micropore adhesive tape as a novel technique for harvestation and transfer of the suction blister graft.
