Suggested Use:
This suture is suitable for superficial skin closure, mucosal tissues, and delicate structures where minimal tissue reaction is desired. Due to its non-absorbable nature, it is recommended for short-term wound support in areas requiring later suture removal. Ensure proper aseptic technique during handling and follow institutional protocols for wound care.
