My name is Dr. Nicholas Mallory. I graduated dental school in 2019 from Midwestern University. During my last year of dental school, I had the unfortunate occurrence of getting poked by a suture needle during a surgical extraction. I did not realize this had happened. It was only after taking off my procedure gloves to wash my hands did I realize the blood on my index finger and the sting of the soap and hand sanitizer. Even though I could not recall getting poked, I had to treat the situation as such and went through the needle stick protocol of expensive blood work and worry as a precaution. As a poor starving dental student, I hardly had the funds reserved for costly bloodwork. Needless to say, it sparked in my mind a determination to solve the issue of what to do with a bloody suture needle while performing suturing tasks for our patients. From that determination was born the StitchPRO. As you research what StitchPRO is, I hope you will see its utility and importance and start protecting yourself, your team members, and your patients.
