Has anyone seen this?

My medplay partner sent me this link yesterday, I had a look at it and it looks very interesting to me. Has anyone else seen this or used it? What do you think? I think Santa might be bringing it, but I wanted to see if anyone on the forum was familiar with it first.

Thanks for any input you have.

I'm so glad someone else gets the same kick out of it that I did, I think it's the perfect medfet Christmas gift for those of us that are into realistic physical exams. I examine animals every day as a vet tech, but I don't care how many times I do it, humans are different! Let me know what you think of it, and thanks for responding.

Docinny45,

There is an add-on product by the same company about how to suture. I think that is incredibly dangerous, but you know what they say, "there's a sucker born every minute!" How true.

I have to say that I keep a couple of sutures in my emergency kit at home and when we go camping. I wouldn't try to suture a facial injury (need a plastic surgeon for that) but in an emergency at home where the cut is not overly severe or when help is not readily available (camping/hiking), I woundn't hesitate to suture a wound. After seeing years of suturing in the OR, and practicing on chicken skin and beef fascia, i know I would do a good job.

I agree with you Switchablesusie; there is a time and a place. I too have a suture kit at home, and have been known to use it on myself or my horses, more than once. I carry a suture kit in my emergency box when I am transporting horses, along with enough Euthasol to humanely destroy an animal should that horrible need arise.

However, you and I have both had enough experience to know when to use these items, and how to use them properly. Your experience is on humans and mine is on animals. The one thing we both know is that the most important step in suturing is to make sure that the wound is clean and that there is no further tissue damage. My concern here is that John Q. Public hasn't got a clue as to how to carefully clean a wound preparatory to suturing.

Heaven knows, there are enough bad examples of "kitchen table surgery" on YouTube to make your head spin. Anyway, I'm off to the store this afternoon to fetch the Christmas beef roast. Maybe I'll take the time to do a little suture practice whilst I'm putting the groceries away!

I got my "How to Examine Patients" kit today. Merry Christmas to me! I haven't downloaded it yet, but I'll keep you all updated on my progress. The kit itself is pretty amusing!

Play On, and Merry Christmas!
