Suture Patterns
Interrupted
– simple
– horizontal mattress
– vertical mattress
Running (continuous)
– simple
– subcuticular
Suture Patterns
Look at on the effect on wound margins:
Interrupted vs Continuous or
running
1. Appositional
2. Everting
3. Inverting
Simple interrupted* (A)
Vertical mattress* (A)
Cruciate mattress* (A)
Horizontal mattress* (E)
Simple continuous* (takes care)
May be everting (under tension)
Appositional (approximating)
Suture Patterns
Simple interrupted*(A)
Vertical mattress* (A)
Cruciate mattress* (A)
Horizontal mattress* (E)
Interrupted
Suture Patterns
Lembert (I)
Halstead (I)
Simple Interrupted
Vertical
Mattress
Horizontal
Mattress
Cruciate Mattress
Simple Subcuticular
Cruciate Mattress
Prevents eversion of tissue edges
Forms an “X” when tied
Requires ½ number of knots vs.
simple interrupted pattern
Simple Subcuticular
Features of Interrupted
Patterns
 Every suture has a knot
 More precise tissue
apposition
 Less efficient to place
Features of Continuous
Patterns
 Beginning and ending knots only
 More efficient
 Potential for catastrophic failure
 Less exact control of wound edges
 Less knot security on ending knot
Examples of Continuous
Patterns
Simple Continuous
Continuous lock
Horizontal mattress
Lembert*
Cushing*
Connell*
Purse - string
Simple Continuous
Used frequently
(on SQ tissue)
Efficiently placed
“Whip stitch”
“Baseball stitch”
Features
Continuous Lock
stitch
“Blanket stitch”
Easier to place
as solo surgeon
Features
Horizontal Mattress
Used more
frequently
as an interrupted
pattern
Features
Everting (edges rolled out)
Horizontal mattress*
Continuous lock - tension
Simple continuous* -
tension
Everting (edges rolled out)
Suture Patterns
Lembert* (interrupted & contin.)
Halstead
Cushing*
Connell*
Purse - string
Parker - Kerr
Inverting (edges rolled in)
Suture Patterns
Lembert suture pattern
Second visceral
layer
More commonly
used as a
continuous
pattern
Features
Lembert suture pattern
Similar to vertical mattress,
except suture above tissue
Continuous used more
often
Not used on skin
Far-near-near-far pattern
Features
Halstead suture pattern
Eight tissue
penetration points
Far-near-near-far-
far-near near-far
Two Lemberts
side - by - side
Features
Cushing
First visceral layer
Parallel purchases
in tissue
Non - lumen
penetrating
pattern
Features
Connell
First visceral
closure
Parallel tissue
purchases
Lumen penetrating
pattern
Features
Cushing Connell
Purse String
Used to
temporarily
close a lumen
(e.g., anus)
Features
Parker Kerr Oversew
Used frequently
(on SQ tissue)
Efficiently placed
“Whip stitch”
“Baseball stitch”
Features
Guidelines for Day of Removal
Body Region Removal (days)
face 3-4
scalp 6-8
chest 8-10
abdomen 8-10
penis 8-10
ear 10-14
back 12-14
extremities 12-14
