METHOD FOR MAKING PLASTIC REPAIR OF SKIN DEFECT AND SUBCUTANEOUS SUBSTRATE BY APPLYING DOSED TENSION METHOD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves introducing metal rods of 0.1-0.3 mm diameter having one end sharp and penetration depth restrictor, into skin around wound to superficial fascia at an angle to skin surface forming 10-24 rows repeating wound edges outline. The rods are moved outwards from the free part along guides arranged above the wound surface to make wound mouth close at a speed of 2 mm/day on every 5 cm of the shortest distance between the central and the most remote rod rows. 3-4 rows arranged most far from the wound mouth boundary are left immobile to prevent skin from wrinkling. Wound defect surface under contraction is enclosed into insulator filled with periodically changed aqueous salt solution containing therapeutic agents for healing the wound. When starting stretching, the wound defect surface is enclosed into insulator filled with periodically changed aqueous salt solution containing therapeutic agents for closing the wound.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
