    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    COUNTRY OF COMPLAINT: CHILE. THE LIQUID IS FILTERED TO PRESERVE THE SUTURE AND THE CONTAINER IS STAINED. SO THERE ARE SOME SUTURES WITH VERY LITTLE AMOUNT OF LIQUID INSIDE, WHICH IS DOUBTFUL OF THE CORRECT PRESERVATION OF THE SUTURE AND ITS STERILITY; ALSO THE LITTLE AMOUNT OF LIQUID MAKES THE CATGUT VERY RIGID AND MAKES ITS MANEUVERABILITY DIFFICULT.
