I wish I knew this when I removed my stitches. I’ll definitely keep that cutting method in mind next time I have to remove stitches from myself, not dragging the outside parts of a suture through the skin is a helpful tip!

Can’t believe I am looking up this videos to avoid another $300 trip to the urgent care

[@gr33nxwolf]

True, couldn't have said it better myself 😂

[@metallicaguy123]

@@gr33nxwolf it’s ridiculous how healthcare works. If it’s related to my previous visit, it should all be included in same fee. Just walking into an urgent care scares my wallet, despite having good insurance

Very knowledgeable, thanks

[@SunnySimmer80]

Thank you for showing us this technique! It’s very useful! Which way do you think has the least pull on it?

[@minimedlessons]

In my opinion, both directions are probably equal in how much tension is put on the skin as it is removed. Thanks for watching and commenting!

im looking to buy a suture practice kit but im not sure what to look for in the product, but i do very much so like the suture pad you use in this video! could you tell me what kit you used as well as what size pad suture that is? thanks! and your videos are very well articulated and helpful!!

[@minimedlessons]

Hi Charlize, thanks for watching and for your comment! I use a couple of different suture pads, but the one I used in this video is from SurgiReal. I have no financial connections to the company; I'm just a pleased customer. This is the one I have: surgireal.com/collections/suture-training-kits/products/small-6-layer-suture-training-kit

[@joeblow9295]

can your incision grow over the stitches after there was some
swelling the first 3 days after the surgery? what will the Dr have to do
if that happens to remove the sutures?

[@manojkumarverma2743]

Whai if a piece of the suture left in after stitches removal

[@shreyanshyt777]

Does it hurt when removed by doctor??

[@BrianSalazar-kn5ng]

Financially 😂

[@adayinthelifeof6197]

Is there a practice kit you could recommend?

[@minimedlessons]

Practice suturing kits? I have two that I would recommend. The one I used in this video is a 5-layer SurgiReal kit (www.surgireal.com). I also really like the kit from Provider Prepared (www.providerprepared.com). Both are great.

[@jannatbabo1152]

What is the name of this cutting scissor

[@jesussalazar9181]

My stitches have been in for almost 6 weeks. Should I remove them?

[@GatochanBolivia]

what your doc said bro???

I'm here cause I need to take out stitches from my dog. 😂

[@chrysalisgutierrez3317]

i just got cercomsized and i thought my thread was dissolvable... um

[@Mikdefish]

Mine are in ten weeeks

[@shayebailey5085]

I thought sutures dissolved?

[@karabrogdon8104]

Dshaye Bailey not all ☺️

[@minimedlessons]

Hi Dshaye Bailey. It depends on the type of suture that was used. Most of the time, simple lacerations are closed with a visible suture that does not dissolve and needs to be removed days later. Sometimes, providers like myself may choose to us a dissolvable suture, which would not need to be removed. So it depends on the suture material that was used.

[@lil_sakii]

does it hurt???😂😂😂

[@leostawicki7283]

You are supposed to pull the suture across the wound so as no to open the wound

[@minimedlessons]

I’m going to push back a little and disagree. If the wound is at risk of popping open based on which direction you’re pulling the sutures when removing them, you’re removing the sutures far too early and they should stay in a few more days.
