Surgical sutures skin wounds

If it is necessary to excise part of the abdominal wall, it will be closed with continuous sutures, using 5-0 nylon surgical suture material prior to closing the outer skin using wound clips. 

Medical Wound and bone healing, blood cholesterol control, skin burn, contact lens, surgical sutures, dental plaque inhibition, clotting agent, etc. 

Surgical sutures made from poly (glycolic acid) and poly (lactic acid), while durable enough to substitute for ordinary stitches, are slowly degraded by ester hydrolysis and don t require a return visit for their removal. Poly(glycolic acid) fibers also hold promise as a scaffold upon which to grow skin cells. This artificial skin is then applied to a wound to promote healing. 

Current available stainless steel sutures are twisted multifilament Flexon and monofilament Stainless Steel from Covidien, monofilament Surgical Stainless Steel from Ethicon, twisted multifilament or monument Steelex from B. Braun, and monofilament or multifilament Surusteel from SURU International. Steel-based sutures have been used in closure of stern, skin, hernia, abdominal, and intestine. Edlich et al. (2006) reported a very good review of the performance of steel sutures in wound closure. 

Close the wound using 4-0 braided absorbable suture for the muscle layer and the skin with surgical staples. 

Some physicians take advantage of Krazy Glue s ability to adhere strongly to the skin — they use a professional version of the stuff, called Dermabond, instead of sutures to close surgical wounds. In fact, you can use Krazy Glue at home to close superficial cuts when nothing else is available. 

PainEase is a mixture of two fluorocarbons dispensed in spray cans. PainEase is a vapocoolant (skin refrigerant) spray for topical application to skin, intact mucous membranes (oral cavity, nasal passageways and the lips) and minor open wounds [5]. PainEase controls pain associated with injections (venipuncture, IV starts, cosmetic procedures), minor surgical procedures (such as lancing boils, incisions, drainage of small abscesses and sutures) and the temporary relief of minor sports injuries (sprains, bruising, cuts and abrasions). PainEase can also be used for myofascial release procedures employed in physical therapy or physiatry to manage myofascial pain.

The primary function of sutures is to hold a wound in a good position for the promotion of wound heaUng. Incised surgical wounds and clean, fresh incised traumatic wounds which are not associated with contamination or devitalized tissue can be closed with sutures, staples, or tissue adhesives. Careful apposition of tissues allows healing by primary intention, resulting in cosmetically and functionally acceptable scars in skin, nerve, or tendon. Sutures are also used in bowel anastomosis and vascular arterial anastomosis, which demand a leak-proof technique using a permanent suture. 

Sutures are used for closing wounds in all body tissnes and are the most frequently implanted foreign materials. Of the estimated 50-60million open surgical procedures performed each year, one of the common challenges is the need to connect tissues. This typically involves closing a wound or incision across various levels of muscle, fascia, fat, and skin.
