3 Rightwards Arrow Integrity of the suture line is essential for postoperative care of cleft-lip repair. The infant should be placed in a supine or side-lying position to avoid rubbing the suture line on the bedding. The prone position should be avoided. A Yankauer suction device is made of hard plastic and, if used, could cause trauma to the suture line. Suctioning should be done with a small, soft suction catheter. Soft elbow restraints may be used to prevent the infant from touching the incisional area.
