Tension-reducing suture, as its name implies, is a suture method used to reduce the tension of incision. Generally, it is mostly used for users who are particularly emaciated, have poor physique, and suspect that the incision will not heal normally after operation, but may have incision dehiscence. It is also used for users who have incision dehiscence, incision infection and secondary operation after operation.

tension-reducing suture is generally full-thickness suture or extraperitoneal suture, that is, suture the skin, subcutaneous and muscle layers. Check that the stitch distance is relatively wide, generally more than 2cm away from the incision, and it is necessary to wear a rubber tube, such as a red catheter, on the surface of the suture for tension reduction. Because the tension-reducing suture usually takes 14 days to remove stitches and the tension-reducing suture is relatively strong, it is possible that knots will be cut into the skin, so the rubber tube should be used to protect the skin.

Precautions:

1. When cleaning the wound, users should try to keep relaxed and distract themselves.

2. Users with pain in the wound can take painkillers or spray Zhitong powder before cleaning the wound.

3. For users with suppurative wounds, use two cotton balls to squeeze the pus as clean as possible.

4. Users with bleeding wounds can apply a little pressure on the bleeding area, which is beneficial to stop bleeding.

5. The ulcerating wound has a foul smell, which means that there is necrotic tissue. You can wash it with tap water at high pressure. After cleaning the wound, remove the necrotic tissue.

6. When the wound tends to heal gradually, apply lipid hydrocolloid dressing at this time to prevent the skin from healing when removing the dressing.
