Surgical sewing?

[Jonas]

Suturing is on my list of things to learn, dont forget not all stitches are for injuries some people get implants (subdermal/magnetic) and this requires stitches. Before everyone screams there butchers alot of peoplr who do these practices can know more about stuff than some doctors. So you might find some useful material in subjects youd not normaly look at.

I learned to suture with a copy of Ethilon's Wound Closure Manual, a suture set from the hospital where I worked, a scalpel, some outdated suture with curved atraumatic needles (000 Ethilon, like fishing line), and a fresh ham my mother bought for Sunday dinner. Make an incision in the skin-side of the ham, sew it up, make another incision, sew it up, and so on. When done, remove sutures, bake ham in oven, serve with red cabbage and sweet potatoes!
