[Morphological features of skin injuries caused by conducted energy weapons (CEWs)].

The objective of the study is to identify, compare and analyze morphological features of skin injuries resulting from the experimental firing of various models of conducted energy weapons (CEWs) In the experimental study, the design features of the provided CEWs models and characteristics of skin injuries were studied using a simulator, a pig carcass, shot without a barrier point-blank, and at the distance of 0.5 cm, 5 cm, 50 cm, and 4.5 m. The results of expert and experimental studies showed differences in morphological features of skin lesions from two different CEW models with different designs. To make an objective expert conclusion on the kind of CEW used to damage the skin, distance, and angle to the target, it is necessary to perform appropriate experiments with at least two different models of these devices.
