Suturing- Single interrupted suture · Tell examiner that you’ll first clean, anesthetise and take consent.· Select correct suture material (3-0 silk) and curved reverse cutting needle (triangular cross-section)· Pick needle holder, tissue holding forceps and blunt end scissors.· Load needle into the holder. (Never touch the needle with hand)· Evert edges and place 1st bite of needle at an angulation of 90* to soft tissue.· Place second bite on the other side of tear and bring out the needle from the other side and place a knot (2 clockwise – 1 anticlockwise -1 clockwise) on the buccal side while squaring the

knot.· Cut excess suture thread with 2mm left with the knot.· Dispose needle into sharps box, cut thread pieces into clinical waste.
