| Description | Nowadays skin sutures have been divided into two major groups–interrupted and continuous. We have focused on continuous sutures, precisely described by Wong. Our goal was to achieve an ideal suture with excellent cosmetic results, minimal postoperative care and with easy placement and removal. We have evaluated all features of nowadays known sutures with our several previous attempts. The result of our effort is the fully buried running mattress suture. |
