Dr. Rojeh Melikian was quoted in an Outpatient Surgery article focused on pioneering techniques in wound-care.
"'The most common mistake is trying to apply adhesive strips or skin glues to wounds that have high tension,' [Dr. Melikian] says. 'These wounds will likely overwhelm the adhesive strips and pull apart.'
