[Closure of wounds with the Redon, Jost and Troques method]

Since presentation of this method to the Paris Academy of Surgery in March 1954, its use has spread thanks to improvements it has brought to the care of operated patients and through its simplicity of use. Its certain advantages are as follows: Rapid cicatrisation and reduction of hospitalisation time; Better quality of scars: Favourable effects on operated patients as a result of cleanness of wounds and reduction in treatments; Marked saving of dressings; Inexpensive and reusable equipment.
