Rainard's Suture.—-Rainard's suture consists only of two oblique stitches, crossed in the form of the letter 'X,' starting from the upper third of one of the lips of the vulva and terminating in the lower third of the opposite lip. The ends are tied opposite the centre of the vulval opening. Strebel's Suture.—Strebel's suture consists of three stitches inserted transversely.

The ends are tied opposite the centre of the vulval opening. Strebel's Suture.—Strebel's suture consists of three stitches inserted transversely. The material employed is galvanised wire, sharpened at one end and rolled into a flat spiral a't the other. Each wire, Fig. 324. which plays the part of a needle, is inserted separately, and is after- wards twisted mto a spiral by means of special forceps, the excess of length being thus taken up until the lips of the vulva are brought closely in contact. In practice, in order to avoid the cutting and irritant effect of such sutures and to increase their efficiency, two rectangular pieces of leather are applied on either side through holes in which the actual metallic sutures are passed. West's vulval clamp is better than sutures. It is very popular in England TRUSSES. Trusses applied for the purpose of preventing prolapsus of the genital organs are now almost entirely given up, as they very im- perfectly achieve their object. 3 D
