He's right. Looks like it's for holding a small needle. Made in Pakistan. Boil or autoclave first before using. Not for heavy duty use. Think how you're going to shave and anesthetize the area, clean and disinfect, deal with bleeding, suture a deep layer as well as the surface area, use antibiotic cream, leave drain tube in place, cover lightly but be able to check for redness, swelling, etc. Have some hydrogen peroxide around for disinfecting. Remove sutures in 10/15 days (shorter time for face and hands). Learn proper suture removal technique unless you intend to introduce micro-organisms back into the wound - don't pull a contaminated section of the suture material through the wound. Serious redness, swelling, malordous exudate, pain, or loss of function: get professional treatment fast.
