摘要
A skin-stretching device (SSD) which is designed to harness the viscoelastic properties of the skin using incremental fraction is described. It has proved to be of value in securing closure, within 72 h, of an open high below-knee guillotine slump wound which did nor heal during a period of 2 months alter amputation. The skin-stretching device provided healthy, durable and sensate skin far slump coverage. Hospitalization rime was shortened and an early post-surgical prosthetic fitting and ambulation was achieved.
