Continuous sutures are a type of stitching technique used in surgical procedures to close wounds or incisions. This method involves a single strand of suture material that is passed through the tissue in a series of connected loops, creating a continuous line of stitches. It is often preferred for its speed and efficiency, as it requires fewer knots compared to interrupted sutures. This technique is commonly used in various surgical fields, including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery. Continuous sutures provide even tension along the wound edges, which can promote better healing and reduce the risk of complications such as dehiscence.
