Figure 10. — DermaClose in a complex closure. The patient sustained a traumatic below-the-knee amputation in an industrial accident. After operative debridement, an irregular pattern of soft tissue remained. CETE was utilized to facilitate closure using the long medial flap of skin to cover the amputation site. Simultaneous use of two CETE devices allowed complete closure of the amputation site with the patient's native tissue. (A) Wound after debridement. (B) Application of two CETE devices. (C) Closure of amputation site. (D) Wound completely healed. Photographs courtesy of B.J.M.
