Patent

CA 2554504

A method for excising skin is disclosed, in which a plurality of incisions are made to collectively form a patch of skin to be reduced, instead of making a single large incision of the patch. Thus, scarring after healing is less noticeable. Preferably, the incisions are arranged such that a total area of all incised skin segments taken in a direction perpendicular to an axis of said patch changes gradually along said axis. The incisions are preferably navicular in shape, and the patch axial ends are are preferably navicular in shape in the event an elongated incision is made. A punch array is also disclosed for making the incisions simultaneously and precisely.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'excision superficielle dans lequel plusieurs incisions sont pratiquées pour former collectivement une pièce de peau à réduire plutôt que d'opérer une seule grande incision de la pièce. La cicatrice est ainsi moins visible après guérison. De préférence, les incisions sont arrangées de sorte qu'une zone complète réunissant tous les segments de peau incisés pris dans un sens perpendiculaire à un axe de ladite pièce change progressivement le long dudit axe. Les incisions présentent, de préférence, une forme naviculaire dans le cas où une incision allongée est pratiquée. L'invention concerne en outre un réseau de perforations réalisées pour pratiquer les incisions simultanément et avec précision.
