What suture material do you recommend for tendon suturing? Does Big tendons and small tendons have a different material approach?

I'm not anywhere near the medical field, but u find sutures really cool. Lol. I guess I'm weird. I do, however, occasionally need to sew and they would be so handy.

I know this is an old video but it was very interesting. I didn’t know that’s how the size names came about.

I have a question for any of the providers that come across my comment. I am a CMA and quite a few years ago I was removing sutures from a patient. His injury was on his lower lip and was a straight line towards his jaw, on the skin side. I have never seen these sutures before or since. It was a long time ago but it seems if I remember correctly the filament was running straight up along the cut and then there was stitches coming back down to close up the injury. Can anyone explain how these sutures were done and why. I had to take a few minutes to really study what was going on before removing them because it was so different.

Also just a funny side note. I work in healthcare and my husband works in printing. One day he came home with about 50 of these practice kits. I was just in shock and I did put them away thinking I have no idea how to suture but the tools seemed well made and maybe I might need one of them for a non medical reason. I guess after seeing these videos I can try to practice some incase the world is ending and someone needs sutures. Now I just need an autoclave and 12 years of schooling. 😁
