Abstract:
We describe how we designed, constructed, and applied 2 prototypes of easy self-removal pull tab bandage construction and report on the use of these prototypes in a patient with 2 discrete squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The easy-removal feature benefits patients who have little in the way of a support system; have limited range of motion; or want to minimize their exposure to disease-transmitting agents, such as SARS-CoV-2, in public places.
