摘要：A method of closing a thoracic incision includes providing a barbed suture andthreading the suture around first and second ribs of a chest wall in a generally S-shapedconfiguration to close an incision positioned therebetween. The barbed suture isthreaded through the chest wall by introducing the barbed suture through a firstterminal tissue layer and around a surface of the first rib that is facing a second terminaltissue layer, passing the barbed suture across the incision and around a surface of thesecond rib that is facing the first terminal tissue layer, and withdrawing the barbed suturethrough the second terminal tissue layer. A second barbed suture may be threadedthrough the chest wall in a complementary S-shaped configuration in which the secondbarbed suture enters and exits the chest wall through the opposing terminal tissue layerfrom that of the first barbed suture.
