A note from our director… National ST Week – September 2018 It’s hard to believe that National Surgical Technologist’s Week has only existed for a mere 34 years! History of the ST Industry Let’s take a quick look back in time to see when Surgical Technologists were first recognized for their skills.

During the mission I worked several weekends in Stewart, FL, with a general surgeon doing hernia and other procedures for underprivileged kids and adults from throughout the state. I was mainly doing suturing and closing. I heard about an opportunity here in Florida with Light of the World Charities and I put in my application.

This procedure required deep dissection and undermining of tissue that Codi assisted with. He was able to carry out all the subcuticular and skin suturing for the lower half of the flap while the surgeon closed the upper half. His most challenging case involved the removal of a large mass, superior to the sacrum.

A carotid endarterectomy is a procedure where the surgeon makes an incision along the neck and opens up the carotid artery to remove plaque or other debris blocking the blood flow. He used at least four 7-0s as tacking sutures. I have a few suture boots loaded on my small curved mosquitos so the prolene doesn’t get ruined.

One of the things I always do is load up my suture so it’s ready! So when she asks for suture to fix the bowel I have it ready to hand to her! This is one of my older setups where you can see I have my Silk pop-off suture ready to go. I try to put some in my asepto to save for later. I’ll post a few.

I always keep my Vicryl loaded so if she wants the Weck or the McGlone facial closure device I can just take my scissors & cut the needle off (and the needle will be left in my suture counter) & I can take the suture & place it on my weck or facial closure device easily. I always open a basin to put my cords in.

I added some requested sutures to the suture flashcards. I have my photo & step by step instructions on how to do it so I can hang it up on my case cart & review it before the procedure. << It’s been awhile, so I thought I would get on & update a few things. We don’t do these very often.
