title: The rigid transparent dome protector: a new dressing for free-tissue transfers and skin grafts.
abstract: We have presented a transparent, inexpensive, rigid dome that allows a window to the wound, humidity chamber effect to continuously observe difficult skin-grafted wounds or free-tissue transfers allowing constant monitoring by visualization. The dome is inexpensive because it is simply a discarded breast implant package.
