A shotted suture, also known as a threaded suture, is a type of surgical technique used to close wounds or incisions. This method involves using a suture needle to pass a thread or filament through the tissue, creating a secure closure. Although "shotted suture" is the primary term used, there are also several synonyms for this technique. These include "threaded closure", "stitched closure", "needle and thread closure", and "surgical suturing". Each of these terms refers to the same concept of using a needle and thread to close wounds, providing healthcare professionals with flexibility and options when describing this essential surgical procedure.
