Preparing Suture Before It Is Needed
Captions available
The idea
Suture for the case is prepared before it is asked for, following the preference card and the surgeon's plan.
In practice
Needles are counted according to the number marked on the package, verified when the package is opened, and kept contained until use.
Where people slip
Open suture as it is likely to be needed, not all at once, so needles stay controlled and nothing is wasted.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
