Day 4: Suture

One of today’s objectives was to suture our rabbits, but we couldn’t just start on the rabbit without practice. Hence we practiced on banana peels before lunch. First we removed the banana out of its peel. With the peel an incisions were inflicted upon with a scalpel to close up. To make sure that we didn’t cut ourselves with the needle we put on gloves and used clamps. We practiced individual knots and running stich. Running stich is quicker to do, but it causes more trauma and visible scars. It is different from individual knots, because string continues instead of knotting individually and cutting it. Individual knots are more common since there would be minimal amount of trauma and scars.
