Recognising the desirability of avoiding the use of sharp needles, especially for wound closure, this study was undertaken to determine whether it was technically feasible to perform a subcuticular skin closure with a 'blunt' Ethiguard needle (Ethicon Ltd). A total of 108 skin incisions was closed in 40 patients. In each case it was found that the needle successfully penetrated the subcuticular layers allowing the use of a standard subcuticular closure technique with the advantage of reduced risk of skin or glove puncture.
认识到避免使用尖锐针头（尤其是用于伤口缝合时）的必要性，本研究旨在确定使用“钝头”Ethiguard针（Ethicon有限公司）进行皮下皮肤缝合在技术上是否可行。40名患者共108处皮肤切口进行了缝合。在每种情况下，均发现该针能成功穿透皮下层，从而可以使用标准的皮下缝合技术，其优点是降低了皮肤或手套穿刺的风险。
