Explanation:
"What is a bolster?
At the time of your surgery, you surgeon will apply a dressing called a
“bolster”. A bolster is a type of dressing that is sewn on top of a skin graft.
This dressing is to remain in place until your post op visit in clinic 5-7 days
after surgery.
A bolster has two functions:
1. It holds the skin graft in place to prevent movement of the graft on the
underlying tissues, thereby allowing the blood supply to work into the graft.
2. One cause of graft failure is the possibility of blood or serum collecting
beneath the graft (raising the graft from the underlying tissues and preventing
revascularization). So the second benefit of a bolster is to prevent fluid from
accumulating between the underlying tissue and the graft. The bolster applies
enough pressure to prevent fluid from accumulating but not so much that it
will interfere with the blood supply (circulation)."
