Suture tensor.
The suture tensor is a simple stainless steel device that pulls the ends of a running subcuticular suture in opposite directions, maintaining the desired closure. The benefits of the use of this device may include minimization of train-track and excisional scarification (via the enhanced maintenance of "tenting"), time savings, and flexibility and durability for the sporting or physically active patient.
