Go to u-tube and search suture technique lots of good ones come up. Great way to practice is to start with heavy sewing thread to learn the tying technique. You can also use a straight needle for skin suturing many older doctors used straight needles for this. Ethicon a Johnson and Johnson company has a great book on suturing. May be able to find it online.Originally posted by WV scout View PostComment
