dyer 5 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Cheers for that ,very interesting. In the wikipedia article says " Once the desired blood was drained from the patient, the operator would place a pin through the edges of the incision. A figure eight of tail hair or thread would then be placed over the pin to retain closure." So I presume it must also be done as some sort of medical procedure ?
