Abstract

Existing laceration scales rely on subjective assessment. A new method has been devised for the quantitative assessment of the severity of lacerations in the two layers of chamois leather and the subcutaneous tissue simulation used in laceration investigations. The method uses a simple mathematical formula to relate the severity of laceration to the number, length and depth of cuts in the tissue simulations. The new index has been called the Triple Laceration Index.
