Abstract
A clear plastic sheet has drawn thereon, the excision necessary to remove a skin defect and also drawn thereon, lines indicating the incisions necessary to make a flap. The transparent sheet is placed over the defect to orient the flap location. Perforations along the lines in the clear plastic sheet permit the skin to be marked so that the drawing on the sheet may be reproduced upon the skin.
