The only other major step in suturing came along in the 1930s after chemists developed synthetic tread. Synthetic threat rapidly grew in demand and with the demand came a variety of types, many of which were medical in nature. By the 1970s, synthetic polymer fibers became the mainstay of the surgical industry. Silk sutures continue in use, but through much of the industrial world, catgut and other natural materials are no longer acceptable.

The silicone pad is the crown jewel of the suture practice kit. These are nearly identical between manufacturers, as they must include specific wound styles for you to practice common suture types. As a result, you’ll find a unique collection of “cuts” throughout the pad. For the most part, pads are approximately 5 x 7 inches. As for techniques, these have largely remained the same for thousands of years, with but minor adjustments owing the materials used.

Hence, the silicone practice pad must contain a layer that mimics the malleability of subcutaneous fat. That said, consider now the new and improved… One-handed square knot – The one-handed square knot is rather misnamed because really, both hands are often used in the technique. It is so-named because it largely relies on the right hand of the surgeon performing the suture, while an assistant helps. Thus, the surgeon only uses one-hand to tie the knot and once skilled in its use, an assistant is not needed. By interweaving the thread through the fingers of his hand, the surgeon can manipulate thumb and fingers such that the knot may be put in place by hand, then “slipped” onto the wound just prior to tightening.
