I was taught to cut parallel to the incision so you don’t cut the skin edge (if you go perpendicular) eg if cutting deep dermals for the surgeon I have my tip parallel to the wound.

This is very helpful. I’m a medical assistant who will be helping cut suture tails for a provider. Example—cutting suture from a tongue. I want to make sure I don’t cut the tails too much or not enough. Would the example you show at the beginning of your video be the same for the mouth?

I am really having a hard time with the cutting. I am left handed but surgeon wants me to cut with my right hand, I need to get it right, this video is really helpful! Do you have any ideas on how I can practice this at home? Any help you can give me? Thank you!!

You mustn’t angle your scissors, that’s wrong, there’s a reason why you always have to cut parallel to the threads and that’s because there’s less stress on the blade of the scissors
