    • To highlight product selection for optimal results.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing 6-0 catgut for epithelial and superficial dermal wound edges.
    • Minimizing the use of deeper dermal or subcutaneous sutures.
    • Supplementing superficial suturing with antitension skin taping.

    Main Results:

    • Satisfactory results achieved in wound closure on the face and body.
    • Postulation of reasons for successful outcomes.
    • Emphasis on the efficacy of specific catgut and antitension taping products.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented technique offers satisfactory wound closure.
    • Careful selection of materials (catgut and taping) is crucial.
    • This approach is effective for various wound locations.
