BBASS continues to explain the art of stitching. One the pick and rotation of the needle are understood, it is important to consider the alignment of the needle to the tissues. This set up is important before every stitch and will become automatic with practice. Once the surgeon understands these principles, the needle will do all the work. Your stitching will flow and look effortless. Moreover, your stitching will respect the tissue resulting in better outcomes. BBASS explores these principles using low fidelity models enabling you to 'home' your skills.

Summary

This essential teaching session, Part 3 - Alignment and Vectors, offers in-depth training for medical professionals. Strengthen your understanding of needle alignment, the importance of proper positioning, and the way the vectors interact with the physical body. Learn about vectors and how they're crucial to analyzing and resolving issues related to stitching in awkward places and your body mechanics. This knowledge is pivotal for professionals in various medical fields who stitch. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills! BBASS explores these principles and offers low fidelity models that will enable you to 'home' your surgical skills.
