Ready to improve your suturing technique? Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering the basic interrupted suture. Start by ensuring you have a sterile field and all your tools ready. Hold the needle holder in your dominant hand and the forceps in the other. Grasp the needle with the holder at a right angle, about two-thirds from the tip. Enter the skin at a 90-degree angle, pulling gently through the tissue. Rotate your wrist to follow the curve of the needle. Repeat the process on the opposite side, mirroring the depth and distance. Tie a secure knot with even tension, ensuring the edges align perfectly. Practice consistently for precision and confidence in your sutures.
