continuous suturing

Continuous suturing is a medical technique used to close wounds or surgical incisions. Instead of stitching each section individually, a single strand of suture (thread) is passed back and forth through the tissue, creating a series of connected stitches. This method speeds up the suturing process, provides consistent tension across the wound, and can improve healing. Once the area is securely closed, the suture is tied off at the end. Continuous suturing is often used in surgeries and for healing lacerations, as it can minimize scarring and reduce the risk of infection.
