Explanation

Bioabsorbable is a term used in medicine to describe materials that can be broken down and absorbed by the body. These materials are often used in things like stitches or implants, which need to temporarily support healing tissues. Over time, the body naturally dissolves these materials, eliminating the need for a second procedure to remove them. This process is safe and does not harm the body.
