Where can I get a suture set?
Do they sell them to just "regular" people at medical supply stores like Bischoff's? My husband bought one a while back through some catalog he gets but the needles were so dull they wouldn't go through tissue paper let alone skin.

2. If I may.
Why do you need one? Do you know how to suture? It's a tad more complicated than you might expect.

6. From reading, it looks like a common purchase
for hikers, and people involved in adventurous activities.

8. If that's what you want to do, then suture self!
I suppose that the local fabric store wouldn't have what you're looking for, right?
