    Glossary Primary Closure

    method of directly closing wound edges for optimal healing

    Primary closure refers to the method of closing a wound by bringing the edges together directly, usually with sutures, staples, or adhesive. This technique is often used in surgical procedures, including hair transplant surgeries, to promote faster healing and minimize scarring. For professionals, it is crucial to ensure that the wound edges are well-aligned to optimize the healing process and aesthetic outcome.
