• Place an initial knot.
• Take a bite of 0.5-1 cm from either side of the wound.
• Pull suture material tight so wound edges are appositional.
• Repeat the suture a short distance away from the first; the bite should start from the same side each time as the original bite until the wound has been closed.
• Place a knot to secure the wound closure.
• Faster than interrupted suture patterns.
• Promotes suture economy.
• Provides a more air-tight or fluid-tight seal.
• More difficult to adjust tension.
• Can fail completely if the knot is weak or inadequate.

Just had a basel cell carcinoma removed from my face and surgeon told me he had done a baseball stitching. I was very impressed by it and came to see how it was done. Thanks for the demo. Very informative.

[@SurgMedia]

확실히 더 나은. 하지만 병원 코디네이터가 아니라 의학 학위를 취득해야 합니다.

How much be the distance ???

[@SurgMedia]

Hi there, Suture preference with short or long intervals may vary depending on the surgical field, the technique used, the type of surgery and the surgeon's preference. However, as a definition, the short bite represents the 5mm distance, and the long bite represents the 10mm suture spacing.
