ABSTRACT:
A suturing guide includes opposing guide sections having openings for guiding placement of a suturing needle. In docking a dog's ear, the suturing guide is placed in position, used as a guide for a cut and, via spaced guide openings, acts as a guide for positioning of sutures back from the edge of the cut and with desired lateral spacing. The opposing guide sections may be supported and positioned by an included, spring-biased support assembly, or may be applied independently of a support assembly. Straight and curved edge guide sections and a variety of alignment and retention features are described.
