As a student and junior resident, I didn’t understand how surgeons decided when to use each suture/needle. I tried to pick up on patterns but the info was never in one place. This is an attempt to solve that problem using  @NotionHQ


In one click, you can see details about each suture and needle type and convert between brands @Ethicon @Medtronic


Using filters and tabs, display the information in a way that makes sense to you


I'm sure I didn't get it all right and that some info is missing or incorrect. I suspect number of knots and use cases vary among surgeons.


Thanks to everyone who has already given feedback, including students, residents, and faculty from @ColumbiaSurgery and @UCSFSurgery


Using #humancentered#design principles, I hope to iteratively improve this tool with feedback from the #SurgTwitter#SurgEd community!
