The suture tension adjustment reel. A new device for the management of skin closure.

B H Cohen1, A J Cosmetto.   

Abstract

The initial clinical experience with a new device, called the Suture Tension Adjustment Reel (STAR), is described. The historical precedence and rationale underlying linear tissue expansion is presented. Case reports illustrate the use of the STAR for preoperative tissue stretching, for intraoperative tissue stretching, and for tissue mobilization as applied to scalp reduction surgery. The multipurpose device is a safe, simple, and reliable adjunct to sutured surgery. It is of value in the general management of tensioned and nontensioned skin closures.
