Can you do an interrupted but locking stitch? So that they are separated by knots so if one breaks it doesnt unravel BUT you lock them together so you dont have to cut and start over for every stitch?

I am a law school student, but love medicine. Glad I found ur channel. Anyways, do you have any videos talking about how they disinfect different wounds before suturing? Do they always use the brown stuff?
