在海湾战争中,美军发生许多由地雷、大炮、炸弹、火箭炮和迫击炮弹片致伤的伤员,伤员多、伤情复杂。同以往战争相比,此次战争由轻武器致伤的伤员和创伤却较少。鉴于美军陆军医院阶梯后送的特点,许多医院要接受和治疗在其他医院已行清创的伤员。遗憾的是,这些伤员的创口往往在清创后均被包扎起来了。由于后送、转运的耽搁,清创后的创口不但发生肿胀,而且发生不必要的闭合。因此,创口5天后传统的延期一期闭合常难完成,以致于不得不依赖于矫形外科的帮助,但在野战条件下这是很难做到的。野战条件下美军在处理大批战伤伤员的过程中,采用持续性张力牵引封闭战伤创口收到很好的效果。他们利用这种简单的技术, During the Gulf War, many wounded people were injured in the U.S. armed forces by means of mines, artillery, bombs, rockets and mortar shells. The wounded were many and their injuries were complicated. Compared with the previous wars, the wounded wounded and traumatized by light weapons in this war were fewer. In view of the characteristics of the escort ladder of the U.S. Army Army Hospital, many hospitals accept and treat the wounded who have undergone debridement in other hospitals. Unfortunately, the wounds of these casualties are often bandaged after debridement. Due to the delay of evacuation and transshipment, the wounds after debridement not only swelled but also closed unnecessarily. Therefore, the traditional postponement of one-stage closure after 5 days of wound healing is often difficult to complete and has to rely on the help of orthopedic surgery, but this is very difficult to do under field conditions. Under the conditions of field operations, the U.S. military has received good results in using continuous tension traction to seal a war wound in handling a large number of wounded battles. They use this simple technique,
