Welcome to Suturing

We have brought together some of the best material on the web about simple suturing techniques that you might use in the office or Emerg. Some of this material is based on videos we have created but we also link to segments from videos created by other groups.

Generally, you will choose from links at the bottom of each page to progress through the various content areas. You can also use the Index on the right side to navigate to particular sections.

If you are in a hurry, the 'Main suturing section' provides a good overview, and 'Suture types' describes the various approaches.

Before we start the material, we would like to get some idea of your current level of expertise so we can tune the material to your learning needs.
