Anybody happen to know anything about the "free" suturing kit/stuff available from ethicon.com? A couple of the MS IV's today in anatomy lab said that they thought there was still such a thing available -- apparently they got one when they were first years. Anyways, after looking around the site, I couldn't find anything free...... Just wondering if anybody might know anything about it!
 
I was given the free kit at the start of my surgery rotation. I gave it away on SDN a few months back...
 
You can get a free knot tying board and manual from them. Just call them (I found a phone number on their website) and order it. 😀
 
you can also just go into the ER and take a couple of suturing kits; they come with pickups/needle driver (cheap ones, but good for practice).

likewise, you can always take some supplies from the OR.
