[Mapping of face and extremity skin cleavage lines in Chinese adult cadavers].
On fresh Chinese adult cadavers, which were obtained within 6 hours of sudden death, multiple skin holes of 1 cm apart were made with a conical steel punch of a diameter of 5 mm. Chinese ink was dipped into the wounds, which presently appeared to be rhomboid slits. Mapping of the directions of these rhomboid slits gave rise to cleavage lines of that area. This paper presents the skin cleavage lines of the face and extremities in Chinese adult cadavers.
