If you advance a wound from the opposite side with both hands using tissue forceps then mobility should be more easy. If you were to get close to the wound from the same side with both hands, your two elbows will lie close to the sides of your body, by limiting the movement of both of these things. If you move your body to the left, to free up your right hand, further cramps the left. Also, any motion of the body to the right, to free up the left hand, this also puts into jeopardy the functions of the right hand.
When approaching close to the wound with you right and left hands from the either side, turning the body may free an elbow from the side, increasing your movement of 1 without cramping the other. There is, therefore, advantage in movement by coming close to the wound with the forceps from the side or end opposite to the surgical instrument in the right hand.
To get better mobility, forceps maneuvers requiring wrist flexion should be started in wrist extension and vice versa. Maneuvers that require supination should be started in pronation & vice versa.
When cutting, its best to use something like the forceps; retract for exposure; it steady for suturing; extract needles; grasp vessels for cautery; deep in the wound, pass the ligatures by the hemostats; grab free objects for extraction; pack sponges and then clear the blood with cottonoid or any other type of small sponge.
When sewing on the skin, visualize where the stich will be going into before you grasp the tittue with your forceps. When you grasp it can distract and give a false perspective, thereby resulting in improperly lined up closure. away from the needle entrace; Grab the tittue. mistake many people make is grab the tittue at the desired point of where the needle enters, This blocks that point & it forces it to bite. The forceps should stabilize comfortably away from the site fo where the needle enters.
During suturing, the importance of the tissue forceps can be expanded from merely picking up the layer to be sutured, to include increasing accuracy and exposure, if these 4 positions are used with each stitch.

If you advance a wound from the opposite side with both hands using tissue forceps then flexibility should be more easy. If your left & right hand approach the wound from the same side or end, your two elbows will lie close to the sides of your body, by limiting the movement of both of these things. Any movement of the body to the left, to lighten up the right hand, which cramps the left. Also, any motion of the body to the right, to free up the left hand, in the same way compromises the ability of the right.
When coming close to the wound with you right & left hands from the either side, turning the body can always free an elbow from the side, increasing movement of one extremity without cramping up the other hand. There is, therefore, advantage in mobility by coming close to the wound with the forceps from the side or end on the other side of the medical instrument in right hand.
To get better mobility, forceps maneuvers requiring wrist mobilty should begin in a wrist extension and the other way around as well. Maneuvers that require supination should begin in pronation and vice versa.
When cutting, its best to use something like the forceps; it retracts for exposure; it steady for suturing; extract needles; grab the vessles with cation; deep in the wound, pass the ligatures by the hemostats; pack sponges; grasp free objects for extraction; and clean up blood with cottonoid or other tiny sponges.
When sewing, particulary on the skin, visualize where the stich will be entering before you grasp the tittue with your forceps. When you grasp it can distort and give a false perspective, thereby consequential in improperly lined up closure. Grasp the tittue away from the point of needle entering. A common error of the beginner is to hold the tittue at the desired point of needle entrance, This blocks that point & it forces it to bite. Instead, the tissue forceps should be used to expose and stabilize comfortably away from the site of needle entrance.
During suturing, the importance of the tissue forceps can be expanded from merely picking up the layer to be sutured, to include more exposure and accuracy, if the following 4 positions are used with each stitch.
