Abstract
Precise tissue apposition and edge eversion are essential for tissue fusion with the CO2 laser. A microtenaculum has been designed to accomplish this without the placement of horizontal mattress stay sutures. This instrument permits tissue orientation and approximation for primary laser fusion as well as for the repair of small gaps present after initial welding.Keywords
