title: The use of ADCON-T/N glycosaminoglycan gel in the revision of tethered scars.
abstract: Recurrent subdermal scar tethering is a difficult management problem in areas of high tissue mobility. We describe a novel solution to this clinical problem, which involves instilling the anti-fibrotic gel ADCON-T/N in the plane between the skin and the underlying structures. We present our results in three difficult clinical situations where excellent results have been achieved using this method.
