摘要:<p>An external tissue expansion device applies constant continuous low grade force to skin (12) to obtain additional tension free skin, and subcutaneous tissue prior to a surgical procedure. The device consists of two suture plates (14, 14A), each being laminated structure of steel, and an adhesive attached foam cushion. On each end of one suture plate is a housing that contains a constant force spring (5) placed over a post. The ends of the constant force spring protrude from the housing, and there is a hook (20) attached to the end of the constant force spring. On each end of the other suture plate there is a housing, with a opening that can accept the hook of the opposite suture plate.</p>
