Description

ABSTRACT:
A retention system for safeguarding a surgical incision to prevent rupturing of the wound during healing wherein at least one pair of elongated retaining bars of similar design and constructuion are positioned on either side of the incision. The bars are cojoined by means of retension sutures embedded beneath the skin which pass transversely across the wound. Each bar consists of a relatively rigid top plate and a complimentary lower pad that is secured to the bottom surface of the plate and which is adapted to conform to the contour of the body. One or more pair of suture holes are spaced along the longitudinal axis of each bar with the spacing between the holes being substantially equal to the width of the bar at the contact surface whereby a relatively uniform holding pressure is evenly distributed over the entire contact region when the retention sutures are tied off.
