Immediate Tight Sealing of Skin Incisions Using an Innovative Temperature-controlled Laser Soldering Device: In Vivo Study in Porcine Skin

摘要

A temperature-controlled laser soldering system (TCLS) was used for bonding skin incisions on the backs of pigs. The bonded incisions were evaluated mechanically and histologically. The immediate tight sealing of the wound by the TCLS contributed to high-quality, rapid wound healing in comparison to cyanoacrylate glues or standard suturing. TCLS carries several advantages and should be further evaluated on humans.
