A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well : The advantages of dissolvable sutures In the area the tongue biopsy are that they do not have to be removed However They are not as strong as the sutures that do not dissolve. I would recommend dissolvable sutures for most patients use on the tongue for a biopsy
