Six tips to improve apposition of the buried horizontal continuous intradermal suture pattern for skin closure in dogs and cats

However, it is a challenging and time-consuming pattern compared to alternative methods for skin closure. Avoiding common mistakes may improve dermal apposition for incisional healing.
