Answer 5

they are sutures composed of 2 polyamides that form a uniform strand with a smooth surface that will not support bacterial growth. Basically, it is a type of material they use to stitch you up after you get cut, that helps diminish the chance of infection by not supporting bacterial growth. hope this helps!

Answer 6

This is an artificial (i.e., man-made) material used to sew shut wounds or cuts. "natural" in this case would be silk or gut. Artificial materials are used to reduce the chances of bacterial growth and allergic reactions, which I have been told are more prevalent in "natural materials".
