ABSTRACT:
An appliance for use in excising skin samples from stretched skin, as in taking punch biopsies. The appliance comprises a piece of material having a transverse central opening dimensioned to clear the sample-incising tool. It also has a skid-resistant, skin-contacting surface and an opposite pressure-applying surface. It is adapted for placement on a stretched skin area with its skid-resistant surface in pressure contact with the stretched skin and its pressure applying surface positioned for the application of digital pressure as required to maintain the skin in stretched condition during the sample-incising operation.
The appliance preferably is used with the skin stretched in a direction perpendicular to the skin Langer's lines, thereby producing a skin defect which is elliptical in contour and effectively sutured.
