[20][21] The technology of expanding the skin to create a larger area for wound closure was introduced by Neurmann in 1957 by using a progressively distended subcutaneous balloon.…”

Weichteildistraktionsverfahren sind zur Deckung von groûen Weichteildefekten im traumatologischen Bereich eher selten zur Anwendung gekommen [5]. Überlicherweise werden Weichteildistraktionsverfahren zum Wundverschluss nach Kompartmentspaltung als dynamische Hautnaht, in Kombination mit der Vakuumversiegelungstechnik oder in Kombination mit der Gummizügelung angewandt [2, 6 ± 9,12].…”

“…However, the commercial type of extenders is not always available when needed . To simplify the application of this useful device, we have developed a new, simple and cheap skin extender based only on elastic vessel loops and metal clips stapler commonly used for skin suture; these components are commonly available in any operating room.…”
