Surgical Sutures
Surgical Sutures are medical products used to secure the body tissue together after surgery or an injury. The application tends to be with a simple needle with an associated thread length. Many different shapes, sizes, and thread options have been developed through the millennia of medical history. Surgical sutures can be in a closed-loop, an open loop, or both.
One of the more popular types of Surgical Sutures is the closed-loop system. In this system, the wound-closure head is located within the skin and penetrates the layer of body tissue that it's located on. The loop is then anchored off the surface of the skin with small steel staples. The staple head is then pushed into the wound site with tiny upward or downward strokes. Surgical sutures can also be applied by hand.
Open-loop Surgical Sutures have a small head above the wound that's protruding out from the body's layers. When the wound-closure head is positioned within the tissue, it is similar to the closed-loop surgical sutures system, except the stitched area is visible above the open-loop surface. The loop is then secured using small steel staples to keep the loop open. This style of looping is easier to apply than the closed-loop because the wound closure mechanism is visible. This type of looping is also easier to remove, as it can be easily snipped open.
Double looping is similar to the closed-loop, except that two Surgical Sutures are located on each loop head above the open wound surface. The wound-closure mechanism for this style is very similar to that of the double loop, with the surgical sutures pro-screwing together. Although it is difficult to determine exactly where these loops connect, most practitioners believe they connect near the top of the skin.
