Feedback:
Sutures are knotted ties that hold an incision together. Sutures generally are constructed from silk or synthetic materials such as nylon. Staples are wide metal clips that form a bridge to hold two wound margins together. A bandage is a strip or roll of cloth wrapped around a body part. Open drains are tubes that provide pathways for drainage toward the dressing.
