Take space to raise cubs on the road to escape

Chapter 338 338. Deserving

Picking it up carefully, he remembered that Gu Lan used the triangular needle held by this thing to suture.

The ring on the handle is different from the scissors, which are very small, but the body is slender and the cutting head is short and does not agree with the sharpness of the scissors into a closed shape.

Dr. Deng tried it in his hand, and it was indeed very smooth, he could easily clamp things, and it was easy to apply force, and he was immediately impressed.

"It's called needle-holding forceps. It's an instrument that assists the triangular needle in suturing the wound. With it, it can avoid direct contact with the wound, and it's cleaner and less likely to reinfect the wound." Gu Lan took the initiative to explain.

"Wonderful, wonderful, the setting of this thing is wonderful." Dr. Deng was fascinated, he was reluctant to put them back into the wooden box, and then looked at a smaller box in the wooden box.

It was silver and white, and Dr. Deng couldn't tell what it was made of, but he didn't care what it was made of. As Gulan opened it, his eyes were all on the things in the box.

There were two long white strips in the box, and Gu Lan pushed them in front of Dr. Deng to satisfy his curiosity and let him observe carefully.

As for why there are only two, of course it is because these are just for cover, and the others are in the space.

In fact, there are not many, more than a hundred roots.

"What... is this?"

Dr. Deng studied it carefully for a long time, but he didn't see what kind of material it was. It was white and thin with a sense of transparency. Anyway, it wasn't a thread in the sense he knew.

"This...is called gut. It can be used to suture the wound and it can be absorbed slowly without removing the stitches."

"It can still be absorbed." Dr. Deng was really shocked, it was amazing, it was the first time he heard of this thing in decades of practicing medicine.

"Yes, but the production process of this object is quite complicated, and it is not easy to preserve. It is best to use the safest cotton thread to sew."

"Cotton thread suture?" Dr. Deng hurriedly asked before he had time to feel sorry.

"It is sterilized medical cotton thread, which needs to be specially made, thin and strong. When used, it is soaked in salt water, softened and straightened for easy operation when suturing."

Hearing this, Dr. Deng breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried when he heard that the production of sheep gut was more complicated. Fortunately, cotton thread can also be used, but it is also complicated. Compared with the thread whose material cannot be seen, Dr. Deng believes that medical cotton thread can still be produced.

"This is good, this is good." Dr. Deng nodded and said.

"There is also a troublesome point. After the wound is sutured, according to the recovery of the wound, the stitches still need to be removed in a few days." Gulan added.

"Remove the thread" thought it was cotton thread, Dr. Deng quickly understood that it really had to be removed, otherwise the thread would be left like sewing clothes, if the hiding place is okay, if the face is not scared to death.

In addition, the thread is a foreign object after all, and it will definitely be repelled if it is placed in the body. When the time comes, the wound at the sutured place will definitely not heal well, and it must be removed.

It's just how to dismantle it, he can see that this little doctor Gu intends to teach him, otherwise he will only let him watch it, and won't tell him in detail.

It is said that Dr. Deng admires this kindness very much.

But taking out stitches is a skill. Although Dr. Deng really wanted to ask, he was not that thick-skinned and had a troubled look on his face.

Seeing the little old man's tangled look, Gu Lan smiled and said, "Is there a clean veil?"

There is sterilized gauze in the wooden box, but she is not willing to waste it.

Dr. Deng was dumbfounded by the question, and he couldn't keep up. Why was he talking about removing the stitches one moment, but the next moment he was talking about the veil. Could it be that he wanted to wipe his hands.

"Yes, yes, yes." Although he didn't understand, Doctor Deng quickly brought a clean veil.

Gulan folded it in half and laid it flat on the table, then took out a piece of cotton thread from the gauze in the wooden box, picked up the triangular needle with needle holders, and threaded the thread into the eye of the triangular needle with the other hand.

And the whole process is to control the equipment by hand, and there is no positive contact between the hand and the needle thread.

By this time, Dr. Deng already understood what Gu Lan was going to do.

With a complicated expression, he glanced at Gulan, and then carefully remembered every step of Gulan's men.

"Pay attention to my knotting technique," Gu Lan reminded before moving the needle.

Then every movement was put to the slowest. Not only that, but every knot was explained in detail, which was much more patient than the doctor who taught her suture at that time.

After tying a total of more than ten knots, Gulan stopped and started the next step, picking up the scissors and pinches in the wooden box.

"Use tweezers to hold the end of the thread and tie it in a knot, and gently pull it up, so that the suture under the skin is exposed."

While talking about Gulan's hand, he demonstrated it, so that Dr. Deng could see it more clearly.

"The thing to pay attention to is..." At this point, the scissors in Gu Lan's hand point to the side where the thread is knotted. On the opposite side, when the sutures are pulled out, the sutures exposed to the contamination of the skin will be pulled under the skin, which will increase the chance of infection, which must be paid attention to.”

While speaking, Gu Lan inserted the scissors into one side of the thread end, lightly broke the suture buried under the skin, and with a twitch of the pinch, the suture was pulled out from the skin.

Dr. Deng watched the whole process intently, firmly memorizing what Gulan said and the technique. There are many things to pay attention to in a seemingly simple suture, and Dr. Deng felt that he was really educated.

No wonder the ancients once said that if you live and learn, you must have a teacher if you are a threesome. Dr. Deng has a deep understanding today.

"Doctor Deng, try it?" Gu Lan put the handkerchief and the tools in the wooden box in front of Doctor Deng.

No matter how good the theoretical knowledge is, it is not as fast as learning it by yourself, and remembering it firmly.

"I...try?" Doctor Deng was a little excited when he saw the wooden box and handkerchief in front of him.

...I didn't expect him to be able to do it himself.

Following Dr. Gu Lan's example, he folded the veil in half, and then picked up the needle-holding pliers with a little nervousness to pick up the triangular needle.

After all, the psychological quality of the old doctor is still good. Although the hands that put the needle are a little nervous, they still suture decisively and then tie the knot.

At this point, the speed slowed down. Although the slow knotting technique was correct, Dr. Deng continued with confidence boosted by Gu Lan's nod.

The little old man smiled happily until all the veils were stitched up, and then removed the stitches as Gulan said. The process was smoother than the stitching.

The first thing the little old man did after the completion was to give a big gift to Gu Lan and bow deeply.

It was Gu Lan who stopped me, and after letting go, Doctor Deng still took care of me.

In this way, Gu Lan had no choice but to accept Doctor Deng's worship, and then straightened the stubborn little old man.

In fact, she deserved this obeisance. The suture technique she taught is unique in this era, and she deserves it even for her contribution in medical skills, regardless of her age.

If counted by age, she was older than Dr. Deng, and Gu Lan didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Doctor Deng, it really doesn't have to be like this," Gu Lan said helplessly.

"It should be. Doctor Gu taught the old man unreservedly the suture technique. Don't say that I just bowed a little, even ten, a hundred bows are not too much."

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Gulan waved his hand, not wanting to get entangled in this, and also wanted to leave early. When he came out, he told his son to go back before noon. Now that it's been overtime for so long, he doesn't know if the two sons are alive. in a hurry.
