2:11 – 3:55 How to hold needle-holders, forceps and scissors correctly (rings vs palming).
3:57 – 7:45 Simple interrupted stitch: full demo, knot security tips, when to use 3 vs 4 throws.

14:05 – 16:15 Vertical mattress (far-far-near-near) for punctate gaps; single-hand needle rotation demo.
16:27 – 18:00 Half-buried mattress for corner (“dog-ear”) closures; avoids tip necrosis.
18:03 – 23:00 Pull-out subcuticular (zip stitch) with full un-zipping removal on the pad. Good for kids.
23:10 – 24:25 Choosing absorbable vs non- for buried work; why compound-curve needles help in tight spaces.
