  • Title: Suture choice and other methods of skin closure.
    Author: Hochberg J, Meyer KM, Marion MD.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2009 Jun; 89(3):627-41. PubMed ID: 19465201.
    Abstract:
    Suture application varies for different tissues, different patients, and different circumstances. The large array of new sutures, staples, tapes, and topical adhesives can make the proper choice for closure a challenge. This review of the available materials for skin closure, and their biomechanical properties, advantages, and disadvantages, creates a structure for better understanding of the limitations, indications, and numerous choices to be considered before choosing a suture material.
