Cam RossCam Ross: Probably the best value for the variety compared to any other listing on Amazon.
If you plant to do any serious medical stuff, you should also considering complementing these with some absorbable sutures--pds, pdo, vicryl (vet-cryl), chromic gut, etc.
Also, these are all reverse cutting needles--if you plant to do any soft tissue or vascular repair, you might want to get those absorbable sutures in something like 4-0:10-0 taper, or taper-cutting.
3-0 to 4-0 is sufficient for things like intestinal anastomosis, but you're going to probably need something like 6-0 to 10-0 for vascular repairs/anastomosis.
Forceps and a pair of hemostats for a needle driver are very helpful.
I'd probably grab some IV antiobiotics (a tetracycline. eg. doxycycline) or something too.
IV saline and and IV admin set. tourniquettes.
Lidocaine, etc. if you hope to do this work without a screaming patient.
All these things can be purchased OTC.
Try looking for midwifery supplies like birthsupplies canada-- emergency first like ChinookMed, and LiveActionSafety--and resale markets like esuture or dotmed.
IV saline bags can be purchased from...

Angel: I bought these for my M17 first aid kit and haven’t used them yet. That being said I’ve seen some videos on YouTube on these stitches and they look top notch quality stitches. I guess is better to have them and not need them , than to need them and not have them. The price is good.

David guite: I'm about a hundred pounds overweight I'm a beast like 90% of us Americans are only I admit it's . Anyhow I was cutting any extra hole for my belt and slashed my finger open and didn't know what to do so I wrapped it up with duct tape and went home and ordered these and 3 days later they came in the mail I took the duct tape off and sewed my finger shut, they worked great

Silas: Definitely not as sharp as they should be. First stitch was great, barely felt it. Second one was extremely painful and time consuming to try and push through. It shouldn’t be dulling that quickly.
