Suggested Use:
This suture is commonly used in general surgery, obstetrics, and gynecology for closing subcutaneous tissues, fascia, and other soft tissues where prolonged wound support is needed.

For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry place and inspect the packaging for integrity before use.
