Unit 1: Wound closure - knot tying and suture theory: This unit focusses on the objectives of wound closure and outlines the steps for effective wound closure using staples, glues, tapes or sutures. Characteristics of suture materials are evaluated and classified into absorbable sutures and non-absorbable sutures. Recommended timing for suture removal is included. At the end of this unit, suture materials and needle components are discussed together with a diagram of the square knot for tying sutures. Unit 2: Suturing techniques: The unit commences with demonstrating the use of simple interrupted sutures. Anatomy considerations for skin suturing and the use of buried dermal sutures and continuous subcuticular sutures are included. Images of vertical and horizontal mattress stitches are shown including when different suture methods are used. The unit concludes with a diagram of the continuous subcuticular suture. Clinical images, diagrams and recordings of demonstrated procedures are featured throughout the course. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
