ABSTRACT
One of the problems with the dermal substitute Integra has been securing the material to the wound bed to prevent shearing and loss. Techniques to achieve stability include staples and elastic netting with an over layer of absorbent dressings that can be changed regularly. We report an effective technique using suction dressings to immobilise Integra. This technique led to firm application underlying tissue, and appeared to decrease fluid collection under the Integra. Earlier mobilisation and discharge from hospital were facilitated.
