ABSTRACT:
Pressure is applied to a loose skin region of the animal body by forming an elongated skin fold in the region and applying a clamp to the fold, such clamp including a pair of elongated clamping portions resiliently biased towards each other, and the clamping portions being disposed on opposite sides of the fold therealong and spaced inwardly from the outer margin of the fold so as to clamp the fold between the clamping portions and secure the clamp in place.
A skin clamp includes a pair of clamping arms and a manipulating handle, the arms each having an elongated clamping portion and a relatively short guiding portion at a leading end of the arm, such clamping portions lying adjacent to each other along their length for clamping a skin fold between them, such guiding portions diverging from each other for guiding a skin fold between the clamping portions, the handle including structure resiliently biasing the clamping portions toward each other, and the handle including parts movable towards each other by finger pressure to spread the clamping portions apart.
