Abstract:
Dermatologists frequently perform a number of procedures without the aid of an assistant and have sometimes difficulty to obtain hemostasis during the biopsy or other minor surgery. A flat plastic cylinder made of a disposable syringe effectively stops bleeding and procedures are easily carried out with a clean surgical field. It is believed to be inexpensive, durable and easy to be sterilized.
