This suture is particularly adapted to linear wounds. The subcuticular suture is applied in the following manner: The needle is introduced on the under surface of the skin, as near to the upper commissure of the wound as possible, and including only the deeper layers of the skin, is made to emerge at the cut edge.

Sebacious follicles and hair follicles should not be perforated by the stitches. If the wound is believed to be aseptig and free of spaces the suturing is extended as far as the inferior commissure, but if it is known to be infected, the suturing should be carried only to a point which will allow a proper orifice for drain- age.
