Core Tip	Both the secondary suturing closure and butterfly bandage methods have been widely used in clinical practice to treat incision infections for many years but have many drawbacks. In comparison to traditional methods the needle-free method of incision infection closure had following advantages: significant decrease in wound closure time; ability to adjust the suture tension at different times and gradually close the wound, thus allowing drainage and dressing at the same time; elimination of complicated and painful secondary suture; elimination of risk of secondary infection; and extreme ease of use.
