Sutures are often talked about but rarely seen, due to the level of skill required. This workshop will give you a basic knowledge of technique so that you can practice and refine your suture skills. Like anything, it takes many hours of practice to get it right!
In order to suture safely, the proper medical aseptic technique must be observed. It is the first portion of the class and the foundation for suture skills and other forms of medical play. Anatomy of the skin is important to understand so that you can visualize it while performing sutures, so we will expand upon our knowledge of the layers of the skin. We will also learn about the different types of sutures, what we might use them for, sizing, suture needles and tools. Proper tool handling will be taught, so that everyone may get comfortable with handling the instruments needed.
Specific skills taught will be the instrument tie, the simple interrupted suture, the simple running suture and the simple locking suture. These four skills will give participants the basis they need to be able to develop their suturing skills.
Participants should be aware that suturing requires a great deal of practice to create a neat, clean looking end product. Suture skills require the use of tools in ways that we aren’t used to so there is a bit of a learning curve.
