Use of a Barbed Suture Tie-Over Technique for Skin Graft Dressings: A Case Series
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2015 Background A tie-over dressing is the accepted method to secure skin grafts in order to prevent haematoma or seroma formation. We describe the novel application of a barbed suture tie-over for skin graft dressing. The barbs act as anchors in the skin so

Dressed Minimal Surfaces in AdS$_4$ [PDF]
JHEP 11 (2020) 128, 2020 We apply an arbitrary number of dressing transformations to a static minimal surface in AdS(4). Interestingly, a single dressing transformation, with the simplest dressing factor, interrelates the latter to solutions of the Euclidean non linear sigma model in dS(3).

Tracking Human Pose During Robot-Assisted Dressing using Single-Axis Capacitive Proximity Sensing [PDF]
, 2017 Dressing is a fundamental task of everyday living and robots offer an opportunity to assist people with motor impairments. While several robotic systems have explored robot-assisted dressing, few have considered how a robot can manage errors in human pose estimation, or adapt to human motion in real time during dressing assistance.
