Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B) continuous or running. This type of suture involves a single strand of suture material that is run along the length of a wound, with the needle being passed in and out of the tissue from one side to the other without tying knots after each pass. This contrasts with simple or interrupted sutures, where each stitch is tied off individually. Swaged and braided refer to characteristics of the suture material itself, not to the stitching technique.
