Key features

ย„The characteristics ascribed to a suture include:

capillarity physical configuration

USP size elasticity coefficient of friction memory plasticity pliability tensile strength tissue reactivity

ย„Sutures used to approximate the dermis and deeper tissue layers are generally absorbable, while percutaneous sutures can be either absorbable or nonabsorbable

ย„The most commonly employed needle in dermatologic surgery is a

3/8 circle that is triangular in shape, with a reverse cutting surface

ย„Needle holders with small smooth jaws accommodate finer needles and those with large serrated jaws are best for larger needles

ย„The major types of scissors used in dermatologic surgery are

Gradle, tissue, undermining, serrated, suture-cutting, and bandage-cutting
