Layered closure with sutures.

Description: After an anesthetic drug was given to numb the area, this laceration in the forearm was sewn closed with two layers of sutures, the first in the deeper tissues and the second to close the skin edges. After a week, the skin sutures were removed. The deeper sutures, which were made of a material that was absorbed by the body, did not need to be removed.
