- Prepare for excision of skin tumor, thoroughly clean and dry the skin.
- Adjust the attachment plates to fit the skin’s curvature by bending the plate.
- Peel the cover of the adhesive tape underneath the plate.
- Firmly attach the plate 1.5-2 cm away from the margin of excision.
- Prepare the medical adhesive tape and apply the tape to secure the attachment plate to the skin.
- Fix the medical adhesive tape to the skin and peel the covering film.
- Plan the placement of the contra-lateral attachment plate to align with the vector of pull.
- Repeat all stages for the second plate.
- Gently pull the lock/release mechanism and insert the approximation strap.
- Keep the plate attached to the skin at all times and pull the strap all the way out.
- Secure the plate to the skin by pressing with the little finger and insert the strap through the lock/release mechanism and pull towards the remote plate.
- Keep both plates attached to the skin and approximate the margins of excision by pushing both plates towards each other.
- In case of excessive pull and collapse of the LR/M and the approximation strap wings, re-insert the strap and pull gradually in order to maintain functionality of the system and avoid repeated failure of the approximation strap wings.
- Lock the strap by pressing down the lock/release mechanism.
