Suture Primary

A primary suture is a surgical suture that is applied to the wound immediately after the initial surgical treatment. It is used to close the wound and prevent further infection.

The primary suture is applied directly to the wound, without the use of additional materials such as gauze or bandages. This allows for faster wound healing and reduces the risk of complications such as suppuration or scarring.

To apply the primary suture, a special suture material is used, which is selected depending on the type of wound and its size. Typically synthetic threads such as polypropylene or nylon are used. They are highly durable and resistant to infection.

The primary suture is applied under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision in the skin, then removes any damaged tissue and washes the wound with an antiseptic solution. After this, a primary suture is applied to the wound, which is tightened manually or using a special tool.

After the initial suture is applied, the wound is usually covered with a sterile dressing, which protects it from infection. The wound may be tender and painful for a few days, but over time it will heal and look normal.

In general, the application of a primary suture is an important step in wound treatment. It helps prevent further infection of the wound and speed up its healing. However, if the wound is too large or deep, a secondary suture may be required, which is placed a few days after the primary suture.

The primary suture is an important element of surgical procedures that helps secure the edges of the wound together. The primary suture is placed on fresh wounds that have been treated surgically and helps prevent dehiscence.

A primary suture is necessary for operations on the abdominal cavity, chest, head and neck, as well as in traumatology and other areas where surgical intervention is required. It allows the surgeon to ensure reliable fixation of the wound edges and create conditions for speedy healing.

For the primary suture, special materials are used, such as atraumatic suture materials,
