2. Continuous sutures: A single, continuous stitch is used to close the wound, with the ends tied off at the end.
3. Mattress sutures: These are used to provide additional support to the wound edges by placing stitches both deep within the tissue and superficially on the surface.
4. Running sutures: Similar to continuous sutures, but the stitch is made in a running fashion without tying off each individual stitch.
5. Subcuticular sutures: These are placed beneath the skin surface, providing a cosmetic closure without visible sutures on the surface.
6. Horizontal mattress sutures: Similar to mattress sutures, but the stitches are placed horizontally across the wound.
7. Vertical mattress sutures: Similar to mattress sutures, but the stitches are placed vertically across the wound.
8. Purse-string sutures: These are used to close circular wounds, such as around a stoma or a piercing, by gathering the tissue in a circular fashion.
9. Figure-of-eight sutures: These are used to close wounds with irregular edges by creating a loop around the wound edges.
10. Staple sutures: Surgical staples are used to close wounds quickly and efficiently, particularly in areas with high tension or where suturing may be difficult.
