Abstract: Distant tension-offloading suture is one of the solutions for tension impeded wound healing and scarring after surgery. In this paper, an innovated technique of achieving tension-offloading suturing using hypodermic needle guidance was introduced. Hypodermic needle guided suturing( HGS) technique makes high quality wound closure simple, with cheap and accessible equipment.
