What does wound skin closure do?

Past articles, I talked about how to prevent scar proliferation. I believe that many people are no longer unfamiliar with Wound Skin Closure . The wound closure technology has evolved from the earliest suture material to a non-invasive technology. The aesthetic closure of wounds, whether caused by trauma or surgery It is based on the combination of healing mechanism and skin anatomy knowledge . Today, I will explain how to use the skinWound Skin Closurecorrectly and precautions. Please follow me to see it together!

1. Do you know Wound Skin Closure?

Wound Skin Closure, also known as tension relief buckle, also known as non-invasive skin stapler, can replace sutures to help wounds heal. Everyday we encounter some small wounds, and when they are relatively deep, we need to go to the hospital to be sutured. Because the skin is tense after suture, the plasticity of the epidermis takes 3-6 months. Therefore, during this time period, the granulation is very easy to overproliferate, which is one of the important reasons for the hyperplasia of scars. Whether it is sutures that require suture removal or absorbable sutures, there is a certain amount of damage to the skin. The principle of action of theWound Skin Closureis the same as that of the suture, but it does not hurt the skin. Therefore, it is also called "non-invasive" suture. It is a physical action that pulls the skin on both sides together to help the wound heal.

The Wound Skin Closure produced by Longterm medical not only has a pull-button tension reducer, but also has a tape-type reducer. Personally, it is better to use a pull-buttonWound Skin Closurein the early stage. The tension reduction is relatively large, and it is more suitable for wound healing.

2. What does Wound Skin Closure do?

​​Many patients who have undergone keloid or hyperplasia surgery will wear a skinWound Skin Closureto prevent the risk of hypertrophic scarring due to excessive skin tension. SkinWound Skin Closureis also called needleless skin tension reduction stapler. It is mainly used to reduce the tension on both sides of the incision and prevent the widening of scars. It is mainly used for parts with high skin tension, such as chest, abdomen, back, limbs, etc. Surgical incision reduction is also the most commonly used adjunct in scar treatment.

3. How to use Longterm medical Wound Skin Closure :

①The skin incision or scar is thoroughly cleaned and dried. Cut theWound Skin Closureto a suitable length, tear off the adhesive tape, and apply theWound Skin Closureevenly and symmetrically to both sides of the incision or scar.

②Tighten the spines on theWound Skin Closureone by one, so that the gap between them is 1-2cm. Since the spines cannot be loosened, it is not advisable to tighten them too much at one time during the tightening process, and they can be adjusted slowly.

③ Subtract most of the excess exposed spines to avoid scratching and affecting daily life during activities.

④When removing the tension reducer, it is necessary to open theWound Skin Closureon both sides in parallel along the incision or scar direction, otherwise the skin will be affected by different directions and strengths of pulling on the scar.

4. Wound Skin Closure Notes:

① The use of skin tension reducers is mainly used for parts such as the trunk that are relatively flat and require strong tension reduction force; at the same time, try to avoid the activities of the surgical site, such as limbs and neck, reduce activities, especially in the joints;

②The use of skinWound Skin Closureis mainly used for the relatively flat parts such as the torso that require strong tension reduction force;

③If the skin on which theWound Skin Closureis pasted has infection or other skin lesions, it cannot be used;

④ TheWound Skin Closureshould not be tightened too tightly to avoid complications such as tension blisters;

5. Frequently Asked Questions:
