Suture Supply Co Knowledge Hub
Interrupted sutures are individual stitch wound closure techniques where each suture is placed and tied separately. Interrupted suturing is widely used across skin closure, trauma repair, oral surgery, plastic surgery and general surgical procedures requiring precise tension control, secure tissue approximation and dependable wound support.
