Wound suturing is also known as wound closure or wound stitching. It involves using medical thread to sew together the edges of a wound to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
The act of closing a wound by stitching is called suturing. Suturing helps to bring the edges of a wound together to promote faster healing and minimize scarring. It is a common medical procedure performed by healthcare professionals.
Using a double armed needle at both ends for suturing arterial anastomosis allows for efficient and secure closure of the blood vessel. It provides more control over the alignment and tension of the vessel walls during the suturing process, which is crucial for ensuring proper blood flow and preventing leaks or complications post-surgery.
Lap sutures are a type of suturing technique where the suture is placed parallel to the wound edges, rather than perpendicular. This technique can be used to evenly distribute tension along the wound and minimize scarring. It is commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
