Simple Interrupted Suturing

Demonstration of simple interrupted suturing technique for laceration repair.

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.

Really good video EXCEPT: Please do not handle the needle with bare hands. A very bad habit to get into that will increase likelihood of needle sticks!!

I have a mock procedure project to do soon. This was a very helpful video. Thanks soooooo very much!

Would have been more useful if you had explained how to tie the knot, and demonstrated it slowy once.

is there a way that i can get this suture kit and/or the pad you're using?

Toothed forceps are used to hold tissue (they actually damage tissue less than flat forceps, less pressure needed). And you use needle forceps, or needle holder, to handle the needle. She uses one in her right hand, if you really watched the video above...

in your instrument tie, you pull the two suture ends away from one another perpindicular to the suture. most other examples I have seen involves tying the knot by pulling the two ends parallel, is this a personal preference or a matter of good technique?
