Review Objective 6 in your MAVCC and select true statements concerning factors that influence suture selection. Sutures that resist shrinking in tissue fluids tend to be difficult to remove and are used less frequently as a result. The volume of blood and fluid that circulates through the wounded area is known as tissue vascularity. One of the factors for suture selection is to ensure the suture absorption time corresponds to the average healing time of the wound tissue. Sutures should be used only for exterior or interior skin layers. Sutures must be sterile and should not encourage bacterial growth. Clean or ragged wounds are a determining factor in assessing tissue trauma. Class I wounds are fresh wounds, either through surgery or trauma, in which gross contamination occurred and where infective agents have been introduced.
