Abstract
Saving the physicians time is very desirable in rendering first-rate dermatological service at lower cost. The aim is to reduce surgical instrumentation during skin biopsy procedures and follow-up visits. A combined instrument is used to obtain skin biopsies from 100 patients, and gelatin sponge plugs are used in hemostasis and to assist healing of the biopsy wound site. Skin biopsy samples are obtained simply and with ease, and, as the tissue sample is handled minimally, it appears to be more intact and less distorted in comparison to the usual procedure. Skin biopsy samples can be obtained with the combined instrument in a more cost-effective manner with savings of the physician's time and less instrumentation.
