No-nos In Action
This little guy just had his cleft lip repaired. To prevent him from picking at the stitches and potentially pulling them out, he is wearing no-nos on his arms. No-nos are the padded restraints that prevent children from bending their elbows and touching their face with their hands.
The no-nos for the Quang Ngai, Vietnam surgical trip were made by an 8th grade community service class at Whitefish Bay Middle School in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin. The class includes Kate Mesrobian, daughter of team anesthesiologist Dr. Jay Mesrobian.
Interplast would like to thank these students for their hard work helping heal children around the world. Here are more photos showing the students’ hard work.
