An objective method for determining the rate of primary healing in sutured wounds

Summary An objective method is presented for the purpose of evaluating the speed with which healing takes place in sutured wounds. The method of placing a wire loop and then removing it after 48 hours with the aid of a spring balance is explained. A short series of experiments was performed which attested to the general validity of the method.Presented by Active Member Acad, Med. Sci. USSR Prof. V. N. Chernigovsky
