Seam Smooth

An even suture (s. plana, pna, bna, jna; syn. sh. harmonious) is a type of skin suture in which the edges of the wound are brought together without tension. With this suture, the edges of the wound are carefully aligned with each other, forming an even healing line.

The main advantage of an even suture is that it does not disrupt the blood supply to the edges of the wound, which promotes rapid and high-quality healing. In addition, such a seam leaves a minimally noticeable scar.

An even suture is applied in cases where the edges of the wound can be brought together without tension. It is often used for shallow skin wounds, small cuts and incisions.

Thus, a straight suture is the optimal method of wound closure in cases where precise alignment of the edges without tension is possible. It provides good cosmetic results and rapid healing.
