Figure 3. Clinical photographs of vertical releasing incisions exhibiting decreasing values of the EHS. (A) The value of EHS is 10 (merged incision margins: 6; absence of fibrin on the incision margins: 2; absence of redness along the incision length: 2). (B) The value of EHS is 9 (merged incision margins: 6; absence of fibrin on the incision margins: 2; redness involving <50% of the incision length: 1). (C) The value of EHS is 5 (incision margins in contact: 3; bleeding at the incision margins: 0; absence of redness along the incision length: 2). (D) The value of EHS is 5 (incision margins in contact: 3; presence of fibrin on the incision margins: 1; redness involving <50% of the incision length: 1). (E) The value of EHS is 3 (incision margins in contact: 3; bleeding at the incision margins: 0; redness involving >50% of the incision length and/or pronounced swelling: 0). (F) The value of EHS is 1 (visible distance between incision margins: 0; bleeding at the incision margins: 0; redness involving <50% of the incision length: 1).
