Suturing and acute wound closure techniques
Nursing competencies are the set of skills, attitudes and knowledge, as well as the complex processes for decision-making, that enable the professional performance to be at the level required at all times.
Therefore, we can affirm that suturing is a nursing competency, included in the "Techniques" dimension that requires us to perform the necessary skills whenever we encounter a wound or lesion requiring a simple suture involving the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue.
This course trains nursing professionals to perform different suturing techniques, plan acute wound healing and resolution, and identify possible complications.

Know how to choose the right suturing material and technique for the wound.
