I.

SIMPLE INTERRUPTED
➢ Closure of Linea Alba, Skin, SQ tissue, Fascia, Vessels, Nerves, GI and UT.

II. SIMPLE CONTINOUS


➢ Closure of Body Cavities, Muscle Layers, Adipose Tissue, Skin, GI and UT,

III. HALSTED
➢ Second layer closure for Hollow Viscera.
➢ A variation of Lembert, similar to Vertical Mattress suture.
IV. CRUCIATE
➢ Closure of Wound on Skin

V. FIGURE 8
➢ For securing blood vessels such as in Splenectomy, Neutering, tying of
Spermatic Cord during Castration.
➢ Reversed Cruciate.

VI. HORIZONTAL MATTRESS


➢ Closure in areas with High tension or occasionally of Flat Tendons or Muscle
with minimal Fascia vessels at wound edges.
VII. VERTICAL MATTRESS
➢ Closure of areas of High tension or some situations of Skin closure.
➢ Less likely to occlude small vessels at the wound edge.

VIII. LEMBERT
➢ Closure of hollow organ such as the Stomach, Urinary Bladder, and Uterus. Also
Fascial Imbrication.
➢ Penetrates the Submucosa but not mucosa as it noes not enter the Lumen.

IX. FORD INTERLOCKING (Blanket Stitch)


➢ Closure of Skin
X. CONNELL
➢ Closure of Hollow organs such at the Stomach, Urinary Bladder, and Uterus.
➢ Penetrates the Submucosa and Mucosa.
➢ Identical to Cushing, but this passes through the Lumen.

XI. CONTINOUS INTRADERMAL (SUBCUTICULAR)


➢ Closure of Intradermal (SQ).

XII. PARKER KERR


➢ Closure of Hollow Viscera Stumps such as the Uterus stump.
➢ Combination of Cushing and Lembert.
XIII. MILLER KNOT
➢ Knot used for ligating such as in the Uterus.

XIV. CUSHING
➢ Closure of hollow organs such as Stomach, Urinary Blader, Uterus.
➢ Penetrates the Submucosa without penetrating the organ lumen.

XV. GAMBEE
➢ Used in repair of Intestines or Intestinal Anastomosis.
➢ Does not penetrate the lumen.
XVI. INTERLOCKING LOOP
➢ Used for Tendon repair. A self-tightening suture ‘locks’ into tissue.
➢ Double locking loop applied to Gastrocnemius Tendon.

XVII. THREE LOOP PULLEY


➢ Used for Tendon repair.
➢ High tensile strength and more resistance to gap formation than locking loop.

XVIII. FAR-FAR-NEAR-NEAR AND FAR-NEAR-NEAR-FAR


➢ Closure of Skin, SQ, and fascia under tension.
➢ Provide necessary tension for wound approx. without direct tension to wound
edge.
XIX. PURSE STRING
➢ Closure of hollow viscera stumps or securing (percutaneous) tubes and
catheters such as Gastrotomy and Cystotomy.
➢ Circular variation of Lembert.
