Medical Terminology Chapter 11 test
Dehiscence - the partial or total rupturing of a sutured wound; usually involves an
abdominal wound in which the layers below the skin also separate
evisceration - Protrusion of viscera through an incision
Adhesion - abnormal union of bodily tissues
Herniation - rupture in smooth muscle tissue through which a bodily structure protrudes
Fistula - A tract between two epithelium - lined surfaces that is open at both ends
sinus tract - A sinus is a tract between two epithelium lined surfaces that is open at one
end only.
Suture complications - occur because if either a failure to properly absorb the suture
material that results in inflammation
linear stapler - bowel resection
linear cutter - deliver two double staple lines. used for gastrointestinal procedures
Ligating clips (clip applier) - used to occlude a small single structure used for a blood
vessel.
Which type of suture should be used to close an infected wound? - monofilament
Pieces of plastic or rubber tubing threaded over the retention suture ends prior to tying
are called - bolsters
Pledgets are often used - as buttresses over the suture line of the vessel anastomoses
Plain gut, chromic gut, PDS II, and Monocryl are examples of - monofilament
absorbable sutures
Which needle type is a cutting needle? - CP
Which needle type is a taper needle? - MO
In the proliferation phase, which of the following forms into fibers that give the wound
approximately 25% to 30% of its original tensile strength? - collagen
