Stitching method for everted wound closure
Abstract:
A stitching method for everted wound closure can include positioning a sutured needle on a first skin flap at a first side of the wound opening, inserting the sutured needle into the epidermis at the first side of the wound opening, passing the needle down through the dermis and toward the subcutaneous fat in either a curved or an acutely angled motion such that the suture forms, respectively, either a general C-shape or laboratory flask-like shape along a first side of the wound opening, and passing the sutured needle horizontally through the juncture or interface of the dermis/subcutaneous fat and back up through the dermis and epidermis toward the second skin flap at the second side of the wound opening in a similar and corresponding fashion as the first passage thereby completing the closure of the wound in a single pass.
