 Learn how to suture medical wounds

A unique application to help you acquire basic suture tips and skills, as a method of closing skin wounds, the suturing technique dates back thousands of years, and although suturing materials and technical aspects have changed, the basic objectives remain the same.

In this app you will get all the basic information you need about sutures. Surgical sutures are used for stitching external skin wounds, and also used during surgeries to suture tissues inside the body.

Despite the great development in the methods of suturing external wounds, such as: stapling and compressing wounds, sutures are still the method used in internal surgical procedures.

Wounds are closed and treated by doctors using sutures and suture needles. There are many techniques used to suture wounds, including:

1- Simple interrupted suture

In this technique, several pieces of surgical suture are used to close the wound. After making the suture, the suture is cut and the knot is tightened. Using this technique leads to a tighter closure of the wound. If one of the sutures was cut by mistake, the rest of the sutures stabilize the wound and keep it together.

2- Continuous suture

This technique includes a series of sutures that use the same piece of surgical suture along the wound. This technique is characterized by its speed of execution as well as its strength, as the tensile force is distributed evenly along the wound.

3- Buried suture

This technique is used so that the knot resulting from the suture work is buried inside the wound, and the use of this technique results in providing the stent for the wound and reducing the dead space inside the wound, where the needle is passed into the wound and then inserted from the bottom of the dermis and through it into the wound And then insert it into the dermis of the opposite side of the wound to the bottom, and then tie the suture knot and tighten it to bury it inside the wound.

4- Subcuticular Suture

This method is used in wounds that require the best possible cosmetic result, and although this technique brings the edges of the wound closer together, it does not have a large tensile force to close the wound, meaning that the wound should not need a large tensile force to close it.
