Suturing can be tricky, especially under pressure. I learned early on that practicing on synthetic skin really helped with my precision. Mastering that confidence carries over during real procedures, just like you mentioned with the importance of skill mastery. @mentioning the role of experiential learning isnβt just theory; itβs what kept me sharp in the clinic.
Iβve found that using tension during suturing helps keep things tight, like trying to keep a cat from slipping out of your grasp! Practicing on different materials really makes a difference. @liam_tech87, have you tried adjusting your grip for better control?
