Just learn to suture, those look nice but what about real life application not in hospital? Sweat, grime, saline, blood long deep wide multi lacerations (road rash extreme) burns?

As good add on not a replacement. Suture kits are cheap get the vet ones the pre attached 3 bladed needle are a life saver if you need to go deep, and pull a drainage shunt for a deep would to let it not have fluid build up.

 

3 sets of forcepts .30 silk and if you can close it it  will be…. in a pinch a sail cloth needle with dental floss, leave minty green dots after lol.

 

If you really want to practice without screams and blood get a pork belly skin on and stitch. Then tasty bacon. A win all around.

 

This is a after action item, notice there  is no hairy arms or body parts? No twisty parts  like a stomach or hands around fingers. And useless if you have to sew shut amputation .

For a triage center when you have only one saw bones it will give you as advantage, but lots of time they get the nurse to close.
