Skin morphology at the site of postoperative cicatrix formed after the use of different surgical cutting instruments.
Experimental morphological study of the postoperative cicatrix forming after the use of scalpel made from a crystal material was carried out. The skin healed much sooner and the resultant cicatrix was more fine in comparison with the wound inflicted by a common metal scalpel.
