Zip injuries: A simple solution

Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3

Entrapment of penile foreskin between zipper teeth and zip slider is a common injury in children. It is seen in boys of age group 5-12 years who usually do not wear underpants. About 80% of these injuries occur accidentally while zipping up. Here, we have described a technique which is simple, quick, pain less and require no special instruments.
