    AbstractBackground Hair-thread tourniquet syndrome (HTTS) is the constriction of an appendage or tissue by a hair thread, which can cause ischemia and necrosis of distal tissues. Depilatory agents have the potential to release the hair tourniquet without exposing the patient to the risks of surgery.Crown Copyright © 2021. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
