When doing a chip graft, is bleeding all over the graft junction good or bad for the success rate? Asking for a friend.

Graft union flooding can prevent callousing.

How bad?
I bought some of these to wear on my ring fingers when I make salami... I hand tie everything and the repeated tying tears up my skin. I have a few put aside for my thumbs when I begin grafting this year..... Maybe something to consider. I've heard some nasty grafting cut stories

We’ve successfully avoided stitches many times thanks to super glue. I was feeling kind of sheepish about it until our doctor said he does the same thing.Hopefully not too bad...super glue it.

Pretty bad. But I sewed it up myself so we're good now =)

I'm a surgeon lol. No big deal. Tying the knots was a bit tricky but I got it done

I'd imagine you've seen worse then... but yes, doing it with your non-dominant hand must have been a challenge.

I'm glad I could help! They're not perfect and can be cut with some effort, but they've definitely saved my fingers more than once.
