What is the recommended procedure for handling natural absorbable sutures?

The recommended procedure for handling natural absorbable sutures is to open the package carefully over a small basin. This method allows for better control and minimizes the risk of accidentally dropping or contaminating the sutures. By using a small basin, any materials or particles that may fall out during the opening process are contained, reducing the likelihood of contamination or loss of the sutures.

Natural absorbable sutures can be sensitive to environmental factors, so a careful approach is essential to maintain sterility and ensure that the sutures remain suitable for use in surgical procedures. This method also aligns with best practices of maintaining a sterile field and preventing unnecessary waste or complications during surgery.
