The running subcuticular suture is a workhorse technique. The needle can be inserted from outside of the skin, exiting at the interior of the wound. The skin edges are reflected back sequentially, side by side. The needle is inserted superficially in a subcuticular fashion, running along the length of the wound. The suture material can be pulled through with each subsequent bite.
Also notice the small amount of backtracking that I'm introducing here. This can be quite effective at reducing some of the tissue bunching that is occasionally seen. Also notice the economy of motion. As the sutures are individually placed they are grasped with the pickups, immediately reloaded, and then are ready for placement on the contralateral side.
This saves a great deal of time, and with experience this can be one of the fastest techniques used to close a surgical wound. Once the end of the wound is reached, the needle is again inserted, through the open wound space, exiting distal to the apex, pulled through. And at this point there are any number of options in terms of wound closure.
In a very low-tension closure, the edges of suture material can simply be trimmed at the skin. Alternatively, these ends may be snipped and tied down with adhesive tape, or they may be even tied over each other in the form of a bow.
