POT'd: suture materials

 ·   · 

Good evening buddies, pals, amigos, and everyone who remembers the Dylan episode of the Chappelle’s show

for today I thought I needed to break it down  — >way way down <—- to one of the fundamental procedures of the ED.

You know what I’m talking about.  ; ] 

No, not that.

You consider that fundamental?

Dude, you already guessed foley placement twice.

Nope, what I’m talking about it 

LACERATION REPAIRRSSSSSSSSS

And this time we’re not even pitching it off to the med student. 

Now I’m not gonna provide you with a nice graphic of dotted lines that are supposed to somehow simulate the pathway of each knot (I struggle with computerized depth perception clearly.). Instead I found this nice chart for y’all.

cred to wikem.

Its got all the different suture types and how long they should be in.  I figure its nice to just touch back on this considering its something we see and do every single day.


As always,

Besitos, love, and the noodles from the hot food bar at j and j’s
