The devices comprise clamping mechanism which connect to radiologically transparent dermal grasping pads which close upon and hold the loose skin away from the treatment site. One of the disclosed devices comprises a compressive spring memory mechanism by which the opposed pads are normally biased toward each other. The second disclosed device comprises a latching connection similar in action to forceps. The pads comprise high density synthetic resinous foam, such as styrofoam, which is or may be contoured to safely and adequately engage the skin.
