"Yes, this is the sheep intestine surgical suture I developed. I know sheep gut sutures already exist, based on records from a thousand years ago. But for various reasons, most hospitals in our country haven't fully utilized the property of these sutures dissolving inside the body.
The special suture I made uses a fine thread from the sheep's intestine. Of course, if you want, you can extract similar threads from cattle, sheep, horses, or mules. I just personally prefer using sheep intestines for my own reasons.
Let's not dwell on that. Let me tell you the main feature of this suture. The biggest advantage is that after stitching, there is no need to remove the stitches. Over time, it will dissolve into the human body and is harmless."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi took a glass cup from the side, poured in some water, and then cut a piece of the suture, dropping it into the water. "Just like this suture will dissolve in water over time. As everyone knows, most of the elements that make up the human body are water. Therefore, wounds stitched with this surgical suture will eventually merge with the body, becoming part of the body's nutrients."
About fifteen minutes later, the suture in the glass cup indeed dissolved. Seeing this, Elder Yao looked at Zhu Yanyi and asked, "Is this thing difficult to make?"
"Actually, it's not that difficult. For me, the material is just sheep intestine suture, as I said. But ordinary sheep gut sutures don't have the same toughness or effectiveness as mine. Of course, ordinary sheep gut sutures can also be processed so that they don't need to be removed after stitching and can eventually merge with the human body. But they are not as good as my special version. My special surgical suture has absolutely excellent effects," Zhu Yanyi explained.
"What about the cost?" Elder Yao glanced at Zhu Yanyi. She chose to ignore whether her disciple liked to boast a little.
Zhu Yanyi did not hide anything. "The cost is not high. The medicinal ingredients are common herbs, refined to extract their essence and then blended. However, the purity of the essence I extract is much higher than what you usually refine, so the effect of my suture is significantly better."
She then took out a prescription from the bottom of her medicine box. "This is the formula for making this type of surgical sheep gut suture. I thought that if this suture is used on the front lines, the results would be much better."
Hearing this, Elder Yao pointed at Zhu Yanyi. "I find that everything you make is intended for the front lines."
"That's exactly it," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "I originally thought that since they have sacrificed so much to protect our country, all I can do is try to keep them healthier. When they are in pain, I want to reduce their suffering as much as possible. That is why I developed this.
I developed this sheep gut suture before performing surgery on Zhang Haitao. Although removing stitches is generally okay, you know, ordinary people often feel inexplicably weak after stitch removal. This is because removing the stitches releases a small amount of the body's original vital energy. Although it is not much and can be replenished with proper care, I believe it is better for the vital energy to remain in the body rather than being lost and then replenished later. At least, the person suffers less loss. Besides, my sheep gut suture, after processing, can reduce wound infection after stitching."
After listening, a hint of contemplation appeared in Elder Yao's eyes. He nodded and took the prescription. "In that case, I will have someone test it. If there are no problems, we will put it into production as soon as possible."
She then looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "Girl, today's surgery has already made you famous."
