Carefully selecting a surgical suture needle is a critical component in achieving excellent wound closure outcomes. The ideal surgical needle should be:
Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance
Slim as possible without compromising strength
Rigid to resist bending, yet ductile to resist breaking
Stable in the grasp of the needleholder
Ethicon offers over 200 types of surgical suture needles, allowing clinicians great flexibility to select the most appropriate needle for the specific needs of the tissue being repaired.
The P22 skin suture trainer by 3B Scientific perfectly replicates the anatomical structure of human skin layers including the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis to create a realistic haptic experience of touch for the trainee. By using the included housing base, users can provide skin tension to the suture pad for an even more realistic suture experience. This skin tension simulates the direction of orientation of the underlying collagen fibres. With a sharp scalpel, wounds can be cut to match the required depth and location on the pad. Suture and staple material can be removed from the incisions allowing for the trainer to be reused for many training exercises . The material is very robust for a dependably high quality, long-term use.
With the P22 suture pad, different skin suture techniques can be practiced including:

Vicryl is probably the world's most well known suture. And that is well deserved. Vicryl is an absorbable suture with a predictable absorption time and is backed up by much research and studies. The suture is braided which gives it strength and nice handling and knot tying properties. A coating ensures that the vicryl-suture smoothly glides through the tissue without cutting it's way through. Vicryl is a synthetic suture which minimizes the risk of tissue reactions.
PROLENE Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures.
