Cost-effective Skin Marking in Joint Replacement Surgery: A Comparative Study between Methylene Blue Ink and Commercially Available Skin Markers.
This study demonstrates that both methylene blue ink and commercially available surgical marker pens provide effective skin markings for surgical procedures without increasing the risk of post-operative infections or causing permanent tattooing. Methylene blue ink showed more evident marking post-procedure and ink form remains a cheaper alternative.
