Subcuticular (or Intradermal) Suturing

Demonstration of subcuticular or intradermal suturing technique for wound closure in the operating room.

These videos were created for educational purposes. While I have worked in surgery, I do not claim to be an expert on all surgical matters, including the various types of knot-tying and suturing techniques that are performed in these videos.

i love you erin shearer.....thank u so much..im a 4th year med student....im interested in surgery but no consultant seems to want to teach me how to suture..where can we get one of these skin simulators to practice on?.,.are they expensive?.

i hope you threw so many bites because you were demonstrating. i couldve closed that in one or two bites and in surgery or the ER (for me) time is limited

Good technique but for this video I would have shorten the suture. She spends too much time directing & posting the excess suture.

Great demo - very clear and easy to understand. Worth mentioning that it is much easier on human tissue as opposed to the practice models. Thank you for posting this video.

@bojan0702 you're a loser.

I am merely a cabinetmaker. Your finesse is spectacular. Surgery has a psychological impact, but by minimizing the visual scars, you make the healing process that much easier. The mind leads the body. If we don't feel like Frankenstein after the procedure, we don't feel like him. I'd swap hands with you any day m'Lady.

@satvinder1987 cadavers are real they do exist, go to a diff school if they don't believe in cadavers

this video is amazing!! i had this done on a 5 inch incission accross my neck. i just really couldnt get my head around how the stitches could be under the skin. i asked my surgeon and he couldnt really be bothered to explain. its really cool how they hide the knot at the ends really impressive thanks!
