説明

<jats:p>The ideal suture is strong, handles easily, and forms secure knots. It causes minimal tissue inflammation and does not promote infection. It stretches and accommodates wound edema. Although no single suture possesses all of these features, proper selection of sutures helps achieve better results in skin surgery. Proper suturing technique is essential for obtaining good cosmetic results and avoiding scarring and poor wound healing. Techniques that must be mastered include good eversion of skin edges, avoiding suture marks, maintaining uniform tensile strength along the skin edges, and precise approximation along skin edges.
