Opening the Package:

• Carefully open the sterile packaging using aseptic techniques to maintain sterility.
• Remove the suture reel from the package without touching the suture directly to avoid contamination.

Cutting the Suture:

• Measure the required length of suture needed for the procedure.
• Use sterile scissors to cut the suture to the desired length.

Threading the Needle:

• Select an appropriate surgical needle for the procedure.
• Thread the suture through the eye of the needle, ensuring it is securely attached.

Tissue Approximation and Ligation:

• Use standard surgical techniques to approximate and ligate the tissue.
• Pass the needle and suture through the tissue smoothly, minimizing tissue trauma.
• Tie secure knots to ensure reliable tissue approximation. Ethicon's braided silk sutures offer excellent knot security and handling characteristics.

Finishing:

• Once the suturing is complete, cut the excess suture material close to the knot using sterile scissors.
• Inspect the sutured area to ensure proper placement and tension of the sutures.

Post-Procedure Care:

• Follow standard post-operative care protocols to monitor the surgical site for any signs of infection or complications.
• Inform the patient about care instructions and the importance of follow-up visits to assess the healing process.

Storage:
