Abstract

Sutures provide a temporary means of approximating defect edges to promote wound healing. The ideal suture technique should approximate and evert wound edges, provide prolonged support, leave no suture marks, and be easy to place. Sutures are used in an attempt to improve the speed of healing and different types of materials can be used to close wound, which range from special glue to wire staples and from animal protein to synthetic materials.
