Abstract
- Punch biopsy is a standard method for obtaining tissue sample in dermatology.The objective is to convey the use of towel clips when forceps are not available in performing a punch biopsy.After informed consent, a punch biopsy was performed when clinically indicated, using towel clips in place of forceps to aid in removal of the specimen from the patient.The biopsy sample was satisfactory without tissue trauma or crush artifact.A towel clip is a reasonable alternative when forceps are not available when performing a punch biopsy.
