Abstract

After short considerations about the methods of closing wounds of the skin, the authors make a study about the subcuticular suture. Revising the bibliography which they were able to consult upon the subject they quote various methods subcuticular suture conceived by the authors. Immediately after they study the zig-zag subcuticular suture and describe the technique, the material, the method and the removing of the suture. They presente table with 241 operations performed on enimals, 206 being on dogs and 35 on cats, using systematically the indicated suture to the closing up of the cutaneous incisions. Based on discriminating observations carried out during three years of practice, they conclude by pointing out the advantages resulting of its use.
