I see a few comments saying this isn’t a figure 8 stitch but more of a cross stitch. So just to clarify, they’re pretty much the same thing and this is most definitely a figure 8. Most figure 8 videos you find will have this exact same stitch.
I just had hand surgery 4 days ago and they closed with staples (back of hand knuckles side to side)- my Frankenstein hand. I am in therapy 5 times a week now. This helped me a lot to understand how and why they stapled (removal videos are just as interesting).
Thats skill, trust me I have been cut from a Gypsy with a 10 cm cardboard cutter, I wish my doc did this sort of job, I would had no scar to remind me of the trauma, but than again the Gypsy striked me on the neck so they had to be fast.
there is a special device , stapler removal that is sold separately , the skin does not need to be numb and can be done in the doctor office after 10 days of wound healing
