This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Suture Pattern CMap, Cruciate Advantages 1. Used for long wound/ incision closure 2. Good apposition of wound edges and tension reduction 3. Maintin hemostasis of blood vessels, U Trecht How To Procedure, Suture Patterns Commonly Used Inclusive of Ford Interlocking, Cruciate How To Procedure, Far Near Near Far Advantages 1. Tension Relieving on skin 2. Cutting Needle used in this suture 3. Prevents incisional hernia of incision, U Trecht Discription 1. Continuous inverted suture pattern with burried knots. 2.Absorbable sutures used 3. Specifically developed for uterine closure after Csection but can be used for any hallow organ ex. bladder and intenstines, Suture Patterns Commonly Used Inclusive of U Trecht, Ford Interlocking Complications - Possibility of Tissue Necrosis - Difficult to Remove - Can become embedded into skin if done tightly, Far Near Near Far How To Procedure, Far Near Near Far Complications - If done tightly can cause soft tissue tearing - Short term suture, Ford Interlocking How To Procedure, Ford Interlocking Advantages 1. Provides good approximation of wound edges 2. Suture less likely to unravel therefore more secure 3. Can be placed quickly with experience, U Trecht Complications -Endometrium avoided because of shedding and will cuse retention -if not tucked properly, exposed material can adhere to other organs or mesentaery, Suture Patterns Commonly Used Inclusive of Cruciate, Suture Patterns Commonly Used Inclusive of Far Near Near Far, Cruciate Complications - Can cause inflammation, and constriction of vessels if tight - If too loose, will allow for entry of unwanted materials - Scarring is more likely and obvious
