在动物和首次人体研究中，机械卸载或屏蔽切口可显著减少瘢痕形成。这种策略在疤痕修复手术后是否有效以前是未知的。在这篇文章中，作者报告称，使用机械调节原理的拥抱器械显著改善了瘢痕翻修手术后的美学结局。进行了一项前瞻性、开放标签、随机、单中心研究，以评价翻修和拥抱治疗后的瘢痕外观。对12名患者进行了翻修手术，每名患者都作为自己的对照，并在6个月时评估了结局。使用视觉模拟量表评估每个疤痕，由四名未参与研究的独立外科医生评定。由4名独立外科医生使用视觉模拟量表对6个月的瘢痕图像进行评估，结果表明，拥抱治疗后瘢痕外观有非常显著的改善（p < 0.005）。拥抱装置代表了一种强大的新技术，可显著改善翻修手术后的瘢痕外观。治疗，二。
Mechanically offloading or shielding an incision significantly reduces scarring in both animal and first-in-human studies. Whether or not this strategy would be effective following scar revision surgery was previously unknown. In this article, the authors report that the embrace device, which uses principles of mechanomodulation, significantly improves aesthetic outcomes following scar revision surgery. A prospective, open-label, randomized, single-center study was conducted to evaluate the appearance of scars following revision and embrace treatment. Revision surgery was performed on 12 patients, each acting as his or her own control, and outcomes were assessed at 6 months. A visual analogue scale was used to evaluate each scar, rated by four independent surgeons who were not involved in the study. Evaluation of 6-month scar images by four independent surgeons using the visual analogue scale demonstrated a highly significant improvement in scar appearance following embrace treatment (p < 0.005). The embrace device represents a powerful new technology for significantly improving scar appearance following revision surgery. Therapeutic, II.
