| Sumario: | A tie-over dressing technique using rubber bands is reported. This technique was applied to 4 cases of patients receiving mesh skin grafts for defects after resection of chronic perianal pyoderma. Skin graft take was good in all cases. This technique is a simple, timesaving procedure. The elasticity of the rubber band allows for effective adjustment correspondent with patient movement and applies moderate pressure to the graft. The tie-over dressing can be repeatedly removed and reapplied if early observation of the graft is desired. This technique is useful for skin grafts in mobile areas, such as the buttock, hip joint, or shoulder joint.
