butterfly closure Explanation: It sounds like "punto" might be interpreted as "stitch" and that the child may require a butterfly closure. Need more of the context in Spanish. |

butterfly stitch Explanation: Looks like that's what it is: We DO NOT recommend the use of "Butterfly" Stitches - if it needs a Butterfly Stitch, it needs a suture. Please seek imediate medical attention if possible. If you are going to be in any area where medical attention is more than 24 hours away, you should learn how to suture and have the proper equipment in your kit! (http://www.bobgod.com/cultCompound/store/GEAR/pages/firstaid... Las incisiones fueron suturadas con poliester monofilamento (Mersilene®) de 11/0 mediante un punto suelto o un punto de mariposa simple, según se implantase una lente plegable o de PMMA. (http://www.oftalmo.com/seo/2000/01ene00/07.htm) Hope it helps. as noted |

butterfly stitch Explanation: Hi, I think they are talking about a stitch type which is very common. See web site: http://www.oftalmo.com/seo/2000/01ene00/07.htm: Las incisiones fueron suturadas con poliester monofilamento (Mersilene®) de 11/0 mediante un punto suelto o un punto de mariposa simple, según se implantase una lente plegable o de PMMA. http://cougartown.com/feedback237.html It was Carol Dunlap Calkins HHS61 that did the butterfly stitch on your hand and I got REAL sick that night too. Good luck! Reference: http://www.oftalmo.com/seo/2000/01ene00/07.htm Reference: http://cougartown.com/feedback237.html |

a stitch [idiomatic "just needed a stitch"} Explanation: As in it was just a small injury..no major injury. And the idea of "mariposa" as butterfly stitch is exactly right...but in English you simply do not need to say it in the vernacular..the everyday speech. numerous unapparent "mariposas" |
