Serdev suture

Serdev suture is a type of material that surgeons use to sew up an injury. It is made out of a strong string that can bind together two pieces of tissue. The suture is passed through a small needle and is used to close a wound, like the cut you get when you fall and scrape your knee. The suture helps make sure the wound stays closed and heals properly.
