Interrupted or Continuous Closure A simple suture. Suturing: The Basics 9 Interrupted Sutures • Interrupted sutures are individually placed and tied. • They are the technique of choice if you are worried about the cleanliness of the wound. • If the wound looks like it is becoming infected, a few sutures can be removed easily without disrupting the entire closure. • Interrupted sutures can be used in all areas but may take longer to place than a continuous suture. Continuous Closure • Place the sutures again and again without tying each individual suture. • If the wound is very clean and it is easy to bring the edges together, a continuous closure is adequate and quicker to perform. • Continuous closure is the technique of choice to help stop bleeding from the skin edges, which is important, for example, in a scalp laceration.
10 Practical Plastic Surgery for Nonsurgeons Mattress Sutures A, Interrupted sutures are individually placed and tied. B, A continuous suture is done by passing the needle from side to side (across the wound) multiple times before finally tying the suture. Indication. Mattress sutures are a good choice when the skin edges are difficult to evert. Sometimes you may want to close a wound with a few scattered mattress sutures and place simple sutures between them. It is a bit more technically challenging to place mattress sutures, but it is often worth the effort because good dermis-to-dermis contact is achieved.
