AbstractA new technique for split skin graft fixation using 'Hypafix' adhesive dressing is described. Ninety-three patients with burns involving less than 20% body surface area grafted at the Adelaide Children's Hospital during February 1985-May 1987 were reviewed. Comparisons were made between the results of standard fixation and Hypafix methods. The Hypafix technique showed itself to be simple and reliable, affording considerable versatility and allowing early mobilization without splintage or sedation. The adhesive is readily loosened with Ungvita ointment allowing the dressing to be removed painlessly. In this study its use has shortened both the length of inpatient stay and outpatient follow-up in the Scar Management Programme.
