VIDEO: Creative cuts make more aesthetic surgical dressings

ORLANDO – A few cuts in the surgical dressing material, a process that Dr. Kristin Smallwood calls ‘pinking,’ can make a big difference for patients.

Dr. Smallwood was inspired by the cutting techniques used in sewing and quickly realized that a few cuts here and there on the wound dressing not only helped with applying appropriate pressure, but also yielded more aesthetically pleasing results.

In an interview at the annual meeting of the Florida Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery, Dr. Smallwood, who practices in Cocoa Beach, Fla., shows exactly how she makes her creative cuts.
