BBASS starts another four-part series focussed on the art of stitching. The first part of this series highlights the principles of needle control and understanding of the angles involved when aligning the needle to the tissues. The basics are not basic. They are the very foundations of the art of surgery without which complex skills cannot be mastered. BBASS explains the angles and the lightness of touch that is required in all your stitching. We offer low fidelity models that will enable you to 'home' your skills.
