suturing technique

[GoddessShea]

but seriously that orange deserves protection too, don't forget your gloves

[Baller5ajk]

you should not put ur fingers in the holes!

[beamhardbc]

"we had a bathroom in our room" ??!!

[SGTRVN1]

WOW.,,,,you made the suturing techique a lot clearer. Except I am was not sure a but the number knots. Thanks.

[Rulox999]

as i can remember, arent you supposed to divide the wound by halfs?

[dannjonnes]

A CRNA approves of this video, but, who cares what we think. ;-)

[Alrayayinah]

Simple interrupted suturing technique. :)

[inverseactuality]

Where can I get everything I need to suture things (and what do I need exactly), how much practice on fruit would I need before trying it on humans, how do I prepare a wound for suturing while avoiding infection, and how would one go about doing this one handed (like if I were to suture my own arm) ?

If you answer some or all of these questions I'd greatly appreciate it.

[prnkstr]

@inverseactuality Well, I would guess you can get it at your local pharmacy. To the best of my knowledge there are different sizes of needles, but the clasping plyer could also be located at a pharmacy or a hardware store. You could look for ones that would be used for help in soldering...

[Wetlabtraining]

@inverseactuality Have a look at wetlab.co.uk we sell instruments if you need some. Try practicing on: boiled potatos and poached eggs (dont tear the skin as you pull through as they are really fragile) cut a grape in half and suture it back together (try a 6-0 prolene - you should be able to pick up one half without the other sagging) As you suture, put your non dominant hand behind your back, get used to letting your one arm do all the work without your other hand coming in to help

An orange



[moonlandingwasfake]

ahh so that is how they get seedless oranges...!

[flamedrag18]

you'd be using a second pair of forceps, not tweezers.

[runnybabbit12]

DAMMIT JIM

i'mma doctor not a fruit surgeon

[Vettophilia]

what's the convo in the background about?

[Wetlabtraining]

An advanced version of this is to suture two halves of a cut grape back together.

For Vascular training try suturing two cigarettes end to end. When you lift one up the other should not sag.

Take a look at our channel for other surgical training tips

[asmo555]

Why are you doing this on a Settlers of Catan board??

[zwink928]

I thought you were supposed to put it through one side, pull it through the middle then do the other side? Instead of just putting it straight through both because wouldn't you not know what you're hitting underneath?

[romioIV]

the voice of girls makes me aggressive

[dunobrellao]

I'm training on a lemon it's so coool

[ethan2010ize]

you dont need to tie a knot that many times.. i triple in the middle and double for the rest. and dont stab into the orange, place the tip of the needle as if on top, and curve in. use the curve of the needle and your wrist to pierce the orange not stabing in the side. just sayin

[nescionesum]

I'm just guessing...but did you start to slice open that orange, and then decide, "Meh, I'll eat it some other time," then decide that suturing it shut should be fine...?

[AmberBreeze]

@nescionesum lol



[drdodymigo]

what a nice idea for training

[nateo200]

Did you use a lidocaine injection first?

[TheDrsaurabh]

nooob.....



[jdizzle120100]

a freakin orange haha thats really cool

[Warlock5521]

Very nice guide man... +1

[drawesome2000]

Who's the pedo sweet talking in the back?

[MrTahadar]

ORANGE SPECIALIST............IS IT ALSO POSSIBLE WITH BANANAS?

[Wetlabtraining]

@MrTahadar Yes bananas are fantastic aids in training, we use them to practice top end CABG procedures in Cardiothoracic surgery, we get them to use a hole punch to cut a hole in the skin, we then use either a 5.0 Prolene or 6.0 and get the trainees to stitch 12 stitches around the hole starting at 3 oclock going anti clockwise. It is a fantastic training aid, theres a couple of pictures of people doing it on our facebook page (link on our channel wall) click on the album 'PAR'

[Ardwynna]

Nice job on the Frankenfruit!

[PDBVGAMER]

Great vid man a lot better than my teacher

[afgdk9ooo]

great work on orange O.o

[typhoon228]

Nice video.. one comment though.. The toothed forceps is a tissue forceps(called rat-tooth Adson i think) used to support the mobile tissues while passing the suturing needle through.. It is definitely not designed to pass the needle through or hold the thread for that matter..!! :)

[why0why0why0why]

ctr ring AND a settlers board game... i have a good guess what state you live in...

[bassxhead]

is that a recommended distance between sutures?

[MrHowlate]

woh, cool stuff to try in home........I saw a video where people were using pig leg as suturing method....

[SynneDennis]

01:12

"That's a little too far out..."

Not something I wanna hear my Dr. say :(

[MrWaddlesgee3]

you sound like casey affleck

[OrionDelgado]

LOL @ the background chatting :) ....

@ 1:50 : "you're a good man, you take good care of me" ... and then this little girl so excited about going to the party...

sorry man, but i couldn't concentrate on ur instructions, the background was more interesting :)

[mvktr2]

Time to go out and close up the 1" wound on my son's favorite hen, thanks.

[NekysAcherontios]

oh no man...wheres your gloves? youre going to infect the poor orange!!!

btw did you eat it later?

[jbRrocker1000]

Hard to watch... i puked a little at 1:07. Youtube should really start censoring more stuff like this

[p9142]

excellent video. Thanks!

[classeair]

no drape...

[briancoolik]

Thank you very much...

[Andra447]

suture is practicing on a chicken breast....trying :D

[adrianglennbionat]

@Andra447 haha, we did that at school once

[TheBoxOfBeats]

why do they need to do so many knots on top of it. Why not just one good knot?

[shiftyshive]

@TheBoxOfBeats I think it's take make absolutely certain the sutures don't come undone, and to shorten the 'tail' of it a little bit.

[Spankydaham924]

@TheBoxOfBeats they use a square knot because it is simple and easy. why complicate things. plus if you get good at it you can do it faster.

[Minkisb1]

Thanks! This definitely helped me learn how to do sutures better!

[2melit1]

Seems like nice stiches imo.

If you want better control over the end piece of the suture thread, you can hold it as you pull the tread through the skin. This way you will prevent pulling the tread too far and having to place another stitch.

[2melit1]

nice video, im going to go practice any second now. We've got cow's stomachs to do the sutures on , so it should be kind of realistic.

[3669999]

@imjustbored

Dude, get a life ...

[USNERDOC]

Well done!

[greenrocketfuel]

Great video better than the pro's

[lindsey47646]

I use a banana, but this sees way easier. Nice vid!

[TheDownlaoding]

really its an good educational video..............can learn a lot from this and im going to practice the same using the same idea thx a lot

[askAlanNow]

Was the oarnge ok?

[NCWPromoter]

@askAlanNow Na Sorry He Juiced Out LOL

[FishTheMargins]

I am always amazed at what can be found on YouTube! LOL. Nice video and clear instruction, not that I plan on sewing up a wounded orange anytime soon, but hey! Good work.

[melancholyyyy]

this is the best suture video that i have ever watched!

[nickslice19880412]

@melancholyyyy u havent watched much?

[sonicboom2885]

@melancholyyyy u obv havent been in an OR.......

[sonicboom2885]

@sonicboom2885 p.s. - why simple interrupted? where the hell is the donati/vertical matress.?

[foch41]

nice job sir

[robrosy]

I did it on bananas before and it just wasn't good, the banana skin was way too soft(and mushy, sort of)to be sutured and the string just sliced through the banana skin whenever I tried to tighten the knot. =(

It seems oranges are better, and nice video!

[SalabanziD]

ur rite man,bananas just seem to not do da trick

[tennyson100]

@robrosy exactly ... thats what its meant to do, its meant to be difficult so that you dont pull through in real life, what we do on our PAR courses (for cardiac surgery training) is to hand out bannanas, get an aortic bunch, punch a hole trough and tell them to suture the peice back in with 12 stitches like a clock face in 4 minutes.

Also cut a grape in half and suture back...two cigarettes end to end, suture them so one dosent sag when lifted up, poached/boiled eggs, pasta, potatoes? try it!

[MultiNerve]

@tennyson100 I would love to know what you studied and majored in Colledge to get into a good Medical School. I'm 16 and I've chosen I want to persue a career in Internal Medicine. And if you could please recommend any other courses I should take, I would love to know. Thanks again.

[eBiology]

@tennyson100 I know what you mean, the common misconception is that one should tighten the knot as tight as they can, maybe because the common depiction is a wound being sutured. Imagine doing that with microvasculature, imagine tightening a knot to the maximum on a 3 mm vessel. Jeez I hate just thinking about that.

[thuruma]

that was great...and using an orange is a good idea..

thanx
