How To Repair a Laceration With Simple Interrupted Sutures
Contraindications for Simple Interrupted Sutures
Absolute contraindications None Relative contraindications Simple interrupted sutures should not be the sole method for closing wounds under high tension; for these wounds, other measures, such as How To Do Plastic Surgical Repair With Buried Deep Dermal Sutures or undermining, may be necessary prior to epidermal closure. Sutures of any type may be contraindicated for wounds that are contaminated, relatively old, or that would be at higher risk of infection if closed by sutures, such as small bites to hands or feet, puncture wounds, or high-velocity missile wounds. Wounds involving deep structures (eg, nerves, blood vessels, ducts, joints, tendons, bones) and those covering large areas or involving the face or hands may require specific repair techniques or referral to a surgical specialist.
