Use of heat-malleable thermoplastic splints in eyelid skin grafting.

PURPOSE: To report on the usage of a thermoplastic material in eyelid reconstruction. METHODS: Retrospective single-surgeon case review. RESULTS: Thirty-eight full-thickness skin grafts in 37 patients are reported. No major complications were encountered. All outcomes with the use of this technique yielded satisfactory results. CONCLUSIONS: The use of thermoplastic materials in eyelid reconstruction appears to achieve results equal to those seen with traditional materials. This technique in eyelid surgery may save operative time and be less expensive than traditional methods.
