What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Hypertrophic scar formation after wound healing remains a clinical challenge in plastic surgery. Ultra Tension-Reducing Suture Technique is currently the primary surgical option for preventing and reducing hypertrophic scarring.An ideal tension-relieving effect requires sustained support for 3 months postoperatively to align with the natural recovery cycle of skin tissue tensile strength. Studies both domestically and internationally have confirmed that slow-absorbing sutures yield better scar improvement outcomes than fast-absorbing sutures; non-absorbable sutures carry a relatively significant risk of scar hyperplasia due to Existing domestic and international evidence confirms superior scar outcomes with slow-absorbing sutures; non-absorbable sutures tend to aggravate scar hyperplasia due to obvious foreign-body responses. Other studies have shown that there are no statistically signi
