Abstract:
Skin tears are a common type of clinical skin injury, with the incidence increasing year by year, especially to the elderly, causing poor wound healing, prolonged hospital stays and decreased degree of activity. Prevention and treatment of skin tears have brought tremendous challenges to health care workers, patients and their caregivers. Investigation results are not comparable due to different investigation tools on skin tears of different people from different countries, causing it impossible to make unified standard on management strategies of skin tears. Research progress of investigation tools on skin tears is reviewed in this paper.
