[Characteristics of fibrin formation in stab wounds of the skin, determined by scanning electron microscopy].

Abstract
In an investigation on fibrin formation in skin cut wounds on guinea pigs using scanning electron microscopy, it was established that immediately after the infliction of cuts on live animals, a fine, netlike fiber structure of fibrin forms that gradually covers the entire wounded surface. In the period early after the cuts blood-forming elements attach to the fibrin net through numerous fine fibrin fibers, which incorporate a great number of thrombocytes. Postmortem investigations of these wounds showed that the fibrin net formed preserves its structure. It was also established that a fibrin net forms over skin wounds that were inflicted at different periods after death. In the wounds in the early periods after death, the fibrin net formed was very similar to the one established on wounds inflicted on living animals. Our investigation describes some peculiar characteristics of the fibrin net formed in living animals; there is a fine fiberlike net and the quantity is definitely larger. These characteristics permit the establishment of whether the wounds occurred before death and how much time has lapsed since then.
