Every 90 days we have a Drawing to give away our
acclaimed Suture & Tying Practice Lab ($595 retail value) with a DVD
production covering 23 basic to advanced wound closure techniques!
This quality production comes with DVD, a custom Suture & Tying Quick Study
Guide, a practice lab, a multilayered abdominal wall simulator, a
multi-incision simulator, and enough surgical sutures to receive an adequate
amount of practice with all the presented wound closure techniques. In this
home study workshop, the student learns the characteristics of suture and
needles and how to use them to the best advantage. They learn how to handle
instruments like seasoned experts. Surgical technique is clearly
demonstrated on DVD and the student can replay as much as necessary and then
practice that technique for the prescribed minimum time and as long as it
takes for them to master that skill. A partial list of the 23 surgical
skills include: one-handed tying, two-handed tying, instrument tying, vessel
tying, simple interrupted stitch, figure-of-eight, horizontal mattress,
vertical mattress, running simple, running horizontal mattress, running
vertical mattress and the sub-cuticular skin stitch. Once all 23 skills are
learned, the student is instructed as to how to close an actual surgical
wound. They then use their multilayered abdominal wall simulator to practice
wound closure technique. Once the student completes this training, under the
supervision of a surgeon, she/he should be sufficiently prepared to
successfully close an actual surgical wound.
