Core Tip
Core Tip: The combined oblique and vertical everting running stitch technique provides superior wound edge eversion, tension distribution, and cosmetic outcomes compared to the conventional vertical mattress suture. This hybrid approach minimizes tissue strangulation, promotes faster healing, and reduces scar prominence, making it a more effective and aesthetic alternative for skin closure in surgical and traumatic wound repair.
