Suggested Use:
This suture is commonly used in general surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, and urology for closing soft tissues such as subcutaneous layers, muscle, and fascia. Its absorbable nature and strong initial hold make it particularly useful in procedures where long-term wound support is unnecessary. Always follow aseptic techniques and surgeon preference for optimal results.
