Abstract

A skin-stretching device (SSD) which is designed to harness the viscoelastic properties of the skin using incremental traction is described. It has proved to be of value in securing closure, within 72 h, of an open high below-knee guillotine stump wound which did not heal during a period of 2 months after amputation. The skin-stretching device provided healthy, durable and sensate skin for stump coverage. Hospitalization time was shortened and an early post-surgical prosthetic fitting and ambulation was achieved.

摘要

描述了一种皮肤拉伸装置（SSD），其设计用于通过递增牵引来利用皮肤的粘弹性特性。事实证明，该装置对于在72小时内确保开放性高位膝下断头残端伤口的闭合很有价值，该伤口在截肢后2个月内未愈合。皮肤拉伸装置为残端覆盖提供了健康、耐用且有感觉的皮肤。缩短了住院时间，并实现了术后早期的假肢安装和行走。
