Ford Interlocking Suture Pattern (Reverdin Suture - Continuous Lock Suture - Lock Stitch): - A modification of a simple continuous suture. - Secure the suture material with a knot. - A bite is taken from each side of the wound. - Before pulling the suture tight, the material is threaded through the loop leaving an ‘L’ shaped suture. - Repeat until the wound is closed. - These create better skin apposition than a simple continuous suture. - More difficult to remove.
