Sounds like a fast gut suture - Teardrop
Posted: Sep 19, 2010
"... The stent was pulled taut as well, and the Monica was seated nicely in the inferior puncta. A single deep 6-0 horizontal mattress suture was used in the temporal extent of the wound to bring the deeper layers together. Then 2 interrupted fast gut sutures were placed to close the skin..."
ASR put facet sutures, but the doc is saying "fascut or fastgut" ? Any ideas? Surgery is repair of an eyelid laceration.
Thanks!
