Review Objective 6 in your MAVCC and select true statements concerning factors that influence suture selection. The deeper the incision, the more tissue is required to heal and the greater the risk of dead space between layers. When selecting the type of suture needed for the surgical procedure, the surgeon considers the anatomical site or structure. If absorbable, the strand must not act as a foreign body in the wound but should be “walled” off and incorporated by the body. Sutures should be consistent and of uniform diameter and size. Sutures should never be used on prosthetic material. The direction of the incision generally runs parallel along natural tissue fiber divisions or cut across tissue and muscle. Dirty and infected wound tissue is classified as Class IV.
