Advance Double-Wrap, First Throw to
Wound Surface
With the suture ends grasped in the palms
of the surgeon’s hands, the tips of the index
fingers and thumbs position the suture ends
in a direction (arrows) perpendicular to that
of the wound. The surgeon applies constant
tension to the suture ends, which advances
the double-wrap, first throw of the surgeon’s
knot square to the surface of the wound.
Advancement of the first throw is complete
when the divided edges of the mid-portion of
the wound are approximated.
