**General Principles of Sutures** * **Slow healing tissues** (like skin, muscles, tendons, fascia) need non-absorbable sutures. * **Appositional sutures:** Approximate the edges of the wound. * **Interrupted sutures:** Individual stitches placed close together, which allows for drainage. * **Continuous sutures:** Single thread used in a continuous pattern. * **Subcuticular sutures:** Placed beneath the skin, creating a cosmetic closure. * **Non-absorbable sutures:** Most likely used to close vessels and fascia. * **When cosmetic results are important, smaller, monofilament, absorbable sutures are used.** * **Instead of subcutaneous sutures, closure of deep tissue layers is done.** * **Non-absorbable sutures must always be removed.**
