[Suture of skin lacerations using LAT gel (lidocaine, adrenaline, tetracaine)].
Our aim is to assess the effectiveness and possible use od a new gel formulation for a LAT solution in minor lacerations repair and to propose its use for daily practice in surgical repair of skin lacerations near ocular structures like eyelids, eyebrows or forhead. ⋯ LAT gel is an effective alternative for the repair of wounds needing minor surgical procedures, it provides anaesthesia for lacerations in face and scalp of children and adults.
