Explanation

"Suction dried" is a term used in medical procedures to describe the process of removing moisture or fluids from a specific area using a suction device. This is often done during surgeries to keep the area clean and clear of any fluids that might interfere with the operation. The process helps to maintain a clear view for the surgeon and reduces the risk of complications. It's similar to using a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from a carpet, but in this case, it's removing fluids from a body part.
