Suture kit

A suture kit is a type of kit that contains sutures, also sometimes referred to as stiches, which are a type of medical device used to sew together damaged tissues after injury or surgery. Two types of sutures exist: absorbable and non-absorbable, which are automatically absorbed into the body as soon as they are healed and required to be removed after healing them, respectively

Usage
During the 1960s, Naked Snake carried a suture kit within his field medical kit during the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater. Snake was also forced to use it in the conclusion of the former mission after sustaining injuries from his encounter with The Boss at Dolinovodno's bridge, namely in regards to the lacerations on his upper arms, his right elbow, and his abdomen. GRU Spetsnaz soldiers also utilized suture kits during their patrols in Tselinoyarsk.

Behind the scenes
The Suture Kit was a healing item used for the Survival Viewer menu in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
