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

The continuous intradermal suture pattern is a common method for surgical skin closure, particularly for elective procedures including ovariohysterectomies and neuters. 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.

Abstract

The continuous intradermal suture pattern is a common method for surgical skin closure, particularly for elective procedures including ovariohysterectomies and neuters. 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.
