  "summary": "Tissue expansion is an established technique for the reconstruction of skin defects, but the cost of conventional silicone expanders may limit its application in contexts with lower resource availability. This study evaluated, in an experimental model, whether a container for storing saline solution could act as a low-cost alternative device for tissue expansion. An experimental, prospective,…",
