Various materials are used for sutures, including silk, wire, and synthetic materials. Some sutures must be removed; others dissolve. Types of sutures include the chain stitch, which is a continuous stitch; an interrupted suture, which is a single suture tied separately; an apposition suture that holds the margins of an incision close together; and buried sutures, which draw together soft tissues beneath the outer layer of skin.A type of immovable joint, found particularly in the skull, characterized by a minimal amount of connective tissue between the two bones. The cranial sutures include the coronal suture, between the frontal and parietal bones; the lambdoidal suture, between the parietal and occipital bones; and the sagittal suture, between the two parietal bones.The line of union in an immovable articulation, as those between the skull bones; also such an articulation itself.A particular kind of joint exclusively present among the bones of the skull. Initially mobile at birth, these neighboring bones later fuse together tightly and firmly through a layer of connective tissue, rendering any movement between them impossible.The term \"suture\" is also employed to denote a surgical stitch.In anatomy, a connection or seal between bones, like those in the skull.To stitch up a wound.Thin thread-like materials, like gut, silk, wire, or nylon, used to stitch a wound.The technique of stitching using methods like interrupted sutures, mattress sutures, continuous sutures, purse-string sutures, or tension sutures."}
