Barbed suture technology is becoming increasingly popular in plastic surgery and is now being used in body contouring surgery and facial rejuvenation. We describe the novel application of a barbed suture as a running tie-over dressing for skin grafts. The barbs act as anchors in the skin, so constant tensioning of the suture is not required. The bidirectional nature of the suture prevents any slippage, and the barbs even act as a grip on the underlying wool dressing. Furthermore, the method described is both quick and simple to learn and would be useful for the sole operator.
倒刺缝线技术在整形手术中越来越受欢迎，目前正用于身体塑形手术和面部年轻化手术。我们描述了一种新型应用，即使用倒刺缝线作为皮肤移植的连续覆盖敷料。倒刺可作为皮肤中的锚定物，因此无需持续拉紧缝线。缝线的双向特性可防止任何滑动，而且倒刺甚至可抓住下面的羊毛敷料。此外，所描述的方法学习起来既快速又简单，对单人操作者很有用。
