Abstract:
Animal testing was used to observe skin reaction to plastic hair clips. The results were similar to the reaction caused by standard Raney scalp clips, indicating that this hair clip may be a useful local alternative to imported scalp clips. Clinical trials confirmed the safety of this type of clip in a series of craniotomy procedures.
