interrupted suture

An interrupted suture is a common stitching technique used by healthcare providers to close a wound or incision. Instead of using a continuous line of stitches, the surgeon places individual stitches across the wound, tying each one separately. This method allows for precise placement, easier adjustment if needed, and if one stitch fails, it doesn't affect the entire closure. Typically, each stitch is removed individually during healing. Interrupted sutures are versatile and provide strong, secure closure, making them suitable for many types of wounds and areas of the body.
