Elschnig Bridle Suture

The Elschnig frenulum suture is one of the most common surgical sutures used to connect soft tissues and reconstruct damaged tissues. This suture is named after its developer, the German surgeon Theodor Elschning, who in 1890 proposed a new type of suture for the surgical treatment of wounds.

This seam has a number of advantages over other types of seams. Firstly, it provides good tissue suturing, which reduces the risk of suture divergence and speeds up the wound healing process. Secondly, the seam has a sufficiently large surface area, which contributes to better fixation of soft tissues. Thirdly, the Elschnig bridle stitch is distinguished by its strength and durability, and is also easy to use. The seam takes its name from a modification of the bridle seam from Lambert; its main part is a permanent bridle and forms an excellent alternative to traditional seams. The Elschwig frenulum suture is relatively widespread and can be used in a variety of operations, including operations on the abdominal wall, perineum, perineum, and many other anatomical areas. Its use is widespread in gynecology, urology, oncology, orthopedics, cardiology, etc.
