Suture techniques have been used since ancient times and play an important role in achieving haemostasis during surgery. By carefully suturing blood vessels, surgeons can effectively control bleeding and minimize the risk of haemorrhage. Sutures can be used to ligate or tie off blood vessels, close small bleeders, or secure haemostatic agents in place. The objective of this paper is to explore and develop fundamental procedural suturing skills for non-medical students preparing to undertake aseptic survival surgery in rodent models. This can assist researchers and students in acquiring basic surgical suture skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
