Principles of suturing:

  • The needle should be grasped at approx 1/3rd the distance from the eye and 2/3rd from the point.
  • The needle should enter the tissues perpendicular to the tissue surface.
  • The needle should be passed through the tissues along the curve.
  • The suture should be passed at an equal depth and distance from the incision on both sides.
  • The needle always passes through the movable tissue to the fixed tissue.
  • The needle always passes through the thinner tissue to the thicker tissue.
  • The needle always passes from the deeper tissue to the superficial tissue.
  • The tissues must never be closed under tension. Undermining the tissues must be done prior to suturing in such cases.
  • The suture should be tied only to approx the tissues, not to blanch.
  • The knot should never lie on the incision line.
  • Sutures should be placed at a greater depth than the distance from the incision so as to evert the wound margins.
  • Sutures on the skin are usually removed in 5 days and intraoral sutures in 7 days. If there is tension/stress while suturing, the sutures may be kept for 10 days.
