Double Intradermal
The __ intradermal suture is made with one ligature and two needles
Basket-weave suture (Cross Stitch)
The __ is commonly used in restorative art, not as a closure suture but as part of deep wound restoration
Purse string suture
The __ is used to close round holes in the skin such as the tracer insertion site, colostomy location, or the area where a surgical drain is removed
Baseball
The __ suture is commonly utilized by autopsy incisions, as well as standard incisions made during the embalming procedure
Purse string suture
The __ suture is used to close round holes in the skin such as the tracer insertion site, colostomy location, or the area where a surgical drain was removed
Basket weave suture
The ___ suture is commonly used in Restorative Art, not as a closure suture but as part of deep wound restorations.
Worm Suture
The ___ suture is much like the single intradermal suture in that it is conducive for wax restorations, but it stays on the outside of the incision
Worm suture (Inversion, Draw)
The ___ suture is much like the single intradermal suture in that it's conducive for was restorations, but it stays on the outside of the incision
Closed Suture
The main purpose of the ___ suture is to return the skin to the natural position and to prevent leakage. There are various other needs for the suture such as, form an anchor for wax, securing the margins for a deep wound, encircle the margins of a hole, to attach a secured limb or other body parts.
Single Intradermal
The needle is inserted into one end of the incision leaving the figure loose and exposed. Then, the needle is inserted into the margins of the incision from side to side, and does not reach the surface of the stitch.
Single Intradermal
The needle is inserted into one end of the incision leaving the ligature loose and exposed
Baseball Suture
The needle is places through the skin in the incision through the skin and a knot is tied to begin the suture
Temporary (Interrupted or Bridge Suture)
The sutures are intended to be removed post embalming. These are single or multiple stitches knotted on the surface to hold the skin in place
Suture
The term ___, is defined as the act of sealing or bringing together the skin by using ligature, also may mean the completed stitch
6
There are __ type of sutures used in Restorative Art
1. Whip Suture 2. Lock Suture
These sutures are not used in restorative art, but commonly used by the medical field to close autopsy or close an incision when the patient dies during surgery.
Intradermal Suture (Subcutaneous or Hidden Stitch)
These sutures are often referred to as hidden sutures. When completed this style will provide a surface that is better for application of wax to conceal the incision.
1. Whip Suture 2. Lock Suture
These sutures prevent leakage during the transport process
Temporary (Interrupted or Bridge Suture)
This suture is applied prior to embalming to hold surface areas in place for the embalming process.
Baseball Suture
This suture is commonly utilized for autopsy incisions as well as standard incisions made during the embalming procedure
Basket-weave suture (Cross Stitch)
This suture is created under the surface of the skin and provides an attachment for both the margins of the wound as well as a base anchor for wax restoration
Intradermal Suture (Subcutaneous or Hidden Stitch)
This suture process is used to close an incision that appears on an area that will be visible. ex - facial lacerations
Purse string suture
This suture provides for a high leak - proof closure for a round opening
Worm suture (Inversion, Draw)
This suture will turn under the edges of the incision providing a good surface for wax restorations, as it will eliminate the raised area associated with baseball stitch
Bridge
This type of suture holds surface areas in place for the embalming process and is intended to be removed post embalming
Ligature
Thread, cord, or wire used for tying vessels, tissues or bones.
Temporary
Type of suture applied prior to embalming and can be single or multiple stitches knotted on the surface to hold the skin in place; They will be removed post embalming
1. Whip Suture 2. Lock Suture
What are 2 additional sutures the embalmer may encounter?
-Incisions -Lacerations -Various Openings in the skin
What are sutures required to close
1. Single Intradermal Suture 2. Double Intradermal Suture
What are the 2 types of intradermal sutures
-non waxed Silked -linen -Nylon Thread -Clear dental floss
What are the ligature types?
To return skin to its normal position and to prevent leakage
What is the main purpose of the closed suture?
Worm Suture
Which suture will turn under the edges of the incision providing a good surface for wax restorations
Hidden Stitch
Which suture would be used for a facial laceration?
Adhesives
__ are commonly used to seal incisions and hold the tissues in place. Some embalmers may use this method to close incisions and cranial incisions. Also, this method helps to prevent leakage and prepare for restoration.
Adhesives
___ are used for times when the conditions of the skin or location of the incision does not allow for suturing.
Suture
___ is a word used to describe two very different terms in the medical / restorative art profession
