BBASS deconstructs skin stitching and provides a framework to practice and achieve skin opposition. Our low fidelity model offers realistic haptics and feedback. Practicing involves mastering the use of forceps, needle handling, and alignment. Aligning the needle at ninety degrees in all orthogonal planes will achieve proper opposition of wound edges.

Indelible Signature

The surgeon's touch leaves an indelible signature, a timeless mark upon the canvas of the human body. While the individual patient may fade from memory of the surgeon, the scar remains, a poignant reminder, for the patient, of every word spoken, every action taken, and the profound emotional resonance of the experience. The wound, though healed, stands as a testament to the surgeon's presence, an eternal echo of their skill and compassion. In this way, the scar is more than just a mark; it is a narrative, a living remembrance of the journey shared between healer and healed.
