Hand Numbness Surgery with Incheon Baekbyeong Hospital's Patented Skin Elevation Device Hand Numbness Center utilizes a patented skin elevation device specifically designed for carpal tunnel syndrome surgery. The device features a unique design where the linear flaps at both ends of the incision are formed into curved shapes, forming the first and second elevation portions, each extending linearly. The first and second elevation portions are characterized by having narrowed width and thickness along the length direction of the end cross-section, starting from the section adjacent to the flap.

By using this skin elevation device, we can minimize the incision area (refer to Fig. 12 and Fig. 15) and facilitate the excision of the transverse ligament during surgery, resulting in reduced surgical time and shorter recovery period. Additionally, it helps prevent compression of the median nerve or damage to its branches, thereby reducing the risk of complications. The device's design, with differing lengths of elevation portions on each side, allows it to be used for both distal wrist and proximal wrist surgery. The straight extension of the elevation portions from the curved flaps facilitates easy insertion within the minimally incised surgical area of the proximal or distal wrist, maximizing the surgical field and visibility while performing delicate surgical procedures.
