Surgical Hand Ties
Surgical hand ties are a challenging skill to master. Making sure you form the correct knot is a challenging skill. In many surgical situations, you may have to close a wound that you are not able to see, therefore you will not be able to use your surgical tools. So practicing surgical hand ties is a very important skill that could also save you time in surgery! Learn how to complete a square knot in the video below!
