Surgical Knot Tying Manual

Third Edition

forward

If this manual heightens only perceptibly students, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, surgical residents

and surgeon’s interest in the biology of wound closure and infection, the long years occupied in my search for improved methods of wound management would more than fulfill my expectations. However, another important purpose of this manual is to honor

my colleagues, who collaborated in our clinical and experimental research investigations. It is a duteous pleasure to acknowledge the great help that I have received from Dr. George T. Rodeheaver, Distinguished Research Professor of Plastic Surgery, University of Virginia Health System and Dr. John G. Thacker, Vice-Chairman of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Virginia, who have made numerous scientific contributions to my studies of wound closure. Dr. Thacker and Dr. Rodeheaver are excellent teachers who provide the insight and imagination that solve the most challenging problems. It is also important to note that studies have been undertaken with gifted surgeons in Trauma Specialist, LLP who have developed the only

verified Level I Trauma Center in the Pacific Northwest. Dr. William B. Long III, President and Medical Director of Trauma Specialists, LLP, of Legacy Emanuel Hospital has played an instrumental role in evaluating the performance of surgical products for trauma care that are used throughout the world.
