suture
Significado: A stitch or series of stitches used to hold together the edges of a wound or surgical incision. Also refers to the thread or material used and the act of stitching itself.
Suture functions as both a noun and a verb in medical contexts. Types include absorbable sutures (which dissolve) and non-absorbable sutures (which must be removed). In anatomy, the term also describes the immovable joints between the bones of the skull. Collocations include 'suture a wound,' 'absorbable sutures,' and 'cranial sutures.'
