Intralesional drug delivery with a bent needle.

Intralesional injections to wide, thick lesions and lesions on curved surfaces are challenging with the syringe and needle unit being held parallel to the skin surface. Bending the needle eases negotiation by lifting the syringe away from the skin surface with the needle entering parallel to the lesion ensuring uniform and optimal drug delivery.

Innovative Technique for Securing Autologous Melanocyte-keratinocyte Cell Transplant (MKCT) Suspension in Stable Vitiligo.

Autologous cultured melanocyte transplantation is a safe and effective cellular regenerative surgical treatment modality for the lesions of stable vitiligo. Research continues to improve the efficacy of cell transplants by refining the procedure. The method of dressing used to secure the cell suspension over the treated site is vital in deciding the extent of repigmentation.

Successful Use of Oral Acyclovir in Ophthalmic Molluscum Contagiosum.

Molluscum contagiosum is a common tropical contagious viral infection, involving the skin and the mucous membranes. Ophthalmic molluscum contagiosum is a relatively uncommon condition presenting as secondary follicular conjunctivitis or kerato-conjunctivitis and may present with or without obvious dermal skin lesions. Often, unsuspected and misdiagnosed by eye care providers or observed as a concomitant feature by a skin care provider, unilateral conjunctivitis due to molluscum contagiosum remains easily treatable.

Manual punch for tattooing.

We have devised and designed a manual instrument for tattooing with two shapes. It has been found to have certain advantages over the routinely used electrically operated machine. This instrument can be sterilized easily.
