Explanation

An "Undyed Vicryl tie" is a type of surgical thread used by doctors during operations. It is made from a material called Vicryl, which is designed to dissolve over time inside the body. This means that once the wound has healed, the thread doesn't need to be removed. The term "undyed" refers to the fact that this thread has not been colored, so it is in its natural state.
