Girard-Zika Surgical Suture

Girard-Sick surgical suture (ch. Girard, 1850 - 1916; Swiss doctor; b. Sick, born in 1871; German doctor) is a special method of surgical suture that is used to close wounds on the skin and soft tissues. This suture was developed in the late 19th century by Swiss physician Charles Girard and German physician Paul Sieck.

The Girard-Zika suture has a number of advantages over other suture methods. It ensures reliable closure of the wound, prevents infection and promotes rapid wound healing. Additionally, this suture can be used to close both small and large wounds, making it a versatile method for a variety of surgical procedures.

To perform the Girard-Zick suture, special tools are used that allow you to quickly and accurately apply sutures. During the operation, the doctor makes two parallel incisions in the skin, then stretches the skin over the wound site and secures it with sutures. After this, the doctor places several more stitches to close the wound.

As a result, the Girard–Zick suture ensures rapid wound healing and prevents scar formation. In addition, it allows you to maintain skin mobility and avoid the formation of contractures.

Thus, the Girard-Zick surgical suture is one of the most effective methods of wound closure. Its use allows you to speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of complications.

Girard - Zika surgical suture material for stitching tissue:

Girard-zika (Zigar, Girard) - suture surgical material made of natural silk No. 0 and 0.2-0.4 mm thick. They are non-absorbable. They are recommended for suturing operations where conditions do not require complete absorption of the suture material, such as suturing muscles and fascia. This material is used for suturing wounds, tendons, ligaments, skin and some cavities. Zigar surgical suture is supplied in packs of 1 piece, 6 pieces or 24 pieces. The package size corresponds to the color of the surgical material: orange - 1 piece, yellow - 6 pieces, gray - 24 pieces. If the package does not contain all the thread, then the last piece will have a smaller size. They are made from special finely twisted natural silk, which makes them thinner and stronger.
