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!
