Use of a scalp vein infusion set in oculoplastic surgery.
The scalp vein infusion set is a sterile, readily available device which has been used in a variety of oculoplastic procedures. Segments of the infusion tubing have been employed as bolsters for eyelid traction, tarsorrhaphy, and skin sutures. The tubing may also be placed in wounds for improved drainage. The material has enhanced postoperative wound care and has not been associated with significant complications.
