Suture Tutor Plus is an online self-directed learning package now available from Limbs & Things’ dedicated website.
It will benefit any student or healthcare professional wanting to acquire hands-on practical skills, or any institution delivering training, in the following areas:
• Suturing techniques
• Suture aftercare
• Handling of instruments
• Incision of skin and subcutaneous tissue
• Needles and sutures
• Knot tying
• Scrubbing, gowning and gloving
• Cleaning a wound
• Local anaesthesia
• Patient management and consent
• Other methods of wound closure
Techniques are explained using a combination of clinical video footage, computer animations and practical demonstrations performed on Limbs & Things’ tried-and-tested training models.
The course closely follows the intercollegiate surgical skills curriculum, so the content will help staff acquire excellent practical skills through the use of recognised ‘best practice’ techniques.
