French term

points inversants

French to English Medical Medical (general) eye/nose surgery
"Fermeture sous-cutanee lache sur des points de crins de florence par des **points inversants** de vicryl 6.0"

Surgery to repair nose/eye injury described as 'plaie palpebrale et paranasale et nasale transfixiante du nez avec atteinte du cartilage et plaie du globe oculaire'

The whole sentence has me stumped (see separate question on crins de florence). I have a feeling I should know 'points inversants' but my brain won't deliver and the translation is urgent...

Gabrielle Lyons (asker) Sep 5, 2013:
"Inverting sutures" seems to be the term I was looking for, though it's not in the previous (reverse pair) entry. It appears to be much more usual than 'introflexed' - one of those cases where reversing a search doesn't give quite what's needed. But I should have got this one on my own so apologies for the pointless question.
