Chapter 325 Disinfecting Sutures
Medical supplies are different from other things, so Josh applied stricter standards to the renovation of this small workshop, ensuring that both cleaning and disinfection were done to the highest standard.

The pre-woven bandages and plasters came in handy. The freshly harvested warm-light cattails were sewn back into the bandages by the silk spiders, and the abundant healing energy surrounded these brand-new medical supplies.

Most of the medical bandages and plasters produced were sold to the Ninth Legion, a small portion to other legions, and the remainder were sold in the Glimmer Commercial District, which was also a way to build up their reputation.

After all the warm-light cattails were harvested, the warm-sunflower velvet planted next to them also matured and was harvested next.

Finally, harvest the stalks of these two dandelion-type plants and throw them into the Bidens pilosa field, allowing them to absorb the remaining attribute energy from the stalks and promote their growth.

To be honest, before this, the Dionysus chinensis had not been growing well. It looked somewhat stunted compared to the lush green crops. Josh had listened to his advice and tried to supplement them with whatever they were lacking, but they still didn't grow very well.

Unexpectedly, once these stalks were poured into the field of Dioscorea bulbifera, they naturally absorbed the remaining attribute energy and began to grow rapidly within a few days.

No wonder there are never any weeds in the field of Dionysus; it seems they've all sucked the grass dry.

Looking at the field of Dioscorea bulbifera, which was completely different from a few days ago, Josh sighed. He thought that next time he would plant more fast-growing crops and provide them with more straw so that they could grow well.

The silk of the silkworm spiders is not exactly the same. Depending on their growth and development and the skills they have mastered, they can produce different kinds of silk.

Josh looked at the tweezers and thought that he could research sutures with built-in disinfectant to help those torn and bleeding wounds heal better.

As for how to sew it and what shape it should look like, Josh decided to leave that to Silla to figure out.

Even though she hasn't been to the farm much lately, Josh still receives news about her every day. Her desire to share is so strong that Josh can recount in detail what she did each day.

Today, I cut open and drained the abscess on the head of a Bighorn bull and cleaned the wound. I also applied medicine to the hairless Shar Pei.

Occasionally, there are also some customers who come to the veterinary hospital for treatment, and Sila treats them all without exception.

Although I don't know how good her skills are, so far there haven't been any medical disputes, so I can rest assured for now.

—In the blink of an eye, the day came when the Dionysus needles matured. With abundant attribute energy, they changed almost every day.

When you break open the spikes of the Dionysus needle, you find a substance that looks like alcohol. Josh didn't know what it was before, but after asking Mr. Luhrmann, Parker, and Perry, they all said that this substance could indeed achieve the cleaning effect that Josh described.

Moreover, the liquid itself is gentle and possesses healing properties, which can promote wound healing and reduce irritation.

If it weren't for the difficulty in harvesting and the scarcity of such plants, those apothecaries wouldn't have let go of this plant with its unique properties.

Josh's idea was to put together a set of dwarf thorns and cobwebs, usually ten or more dwarf thorns paired with a bundle of strong and delicate cobwebs.

Depending on the needs, there are also sets of twenty or more.

Of course, this is all predicated on Sila being able to produce results for Josh and help her advertise; otherwise, she fears only the Ninth Legion would be willing to buy her little invention.

"Josh, you mean use these two things to stitch up the wound?" Sila looked at the small medicine box in front of her with a skeptical gaze. Inside were processed spider silk and Dionysus needles. "Yes, spider silk is fine yet strong and doesn't break easily, and Dionysus needles are sharp and can easily pierce the skin. I believe you can do it. Try it next time you get injured." Josh looked at Sila with a determined gaze, which made Sila nod involuntarily. Okay, she'll give it a try.

This world does have suturing techniques, but it mostly uses a magical beast called the Unclaw Beast for treatment.

For larger wounds, the monster will use its pincers to clamp the wound on both sides. Then the pincers will break automatically, forcibly clamping the wound together. The subsequent treatment is to apply medicine to promote wound growth. Whether the wound has spurs or how big the scar is is not within the scope of treatment.

As for manually sutured wounds, they are rarely seen nowadays. They are usually sutured with catgut or other miscellaneous sutures. There is usually no professional teaching, and people sew by themselves. As for the concept of aseptic technique, it is definitely done with all kinds of bacteria. Don't have too much expectation for the suturing technique. Whether the wound will heal or not, and whether there is any certainty, depends on luck.

In short, the stitching technique should have a lot of potential in this violent world. For example, setting up a roadside medicine stall on the way out of the secret realm for the expeditionary force might earn a lot of Federation points.

The reason is simple: there are too few crops and monsters with healing properties.

This was a fact that Josh had already noticed in the Foggy Secret Realm.

Therefore, Josh was confident in this small innovation and was just waiting for Silla's experimental results.

Sure enough, just three days after the medicine kit was delivered, Silas sent in the first patient to try it.

Josh carefully examined the blurry image on the communicator. It looked like a mop dog, but it was too blurry to tell if it was.

The second picture that followed from Silas showed a photo of its wound, revealing a bloody and mangled gash on its filthy belly.

I don't know what hurt me. The wounds are of varying depths and some bits of flesh have been scraped off. It looks incredibly painful.

Josh quickly sent a message to Sila, not knowing whether she had already stitched it up or was still stitching it up. Such a wound cannot be roughly stitched up and done with. It needs to be cleaned and then carefully stitched up. There should be no dead space, and the remaining skin tissue should not be stretched excessively. Tension should be reduced.

Sila didn't reply to the message, which means she must be stitching up her wound.

Josh put down the communicator and decided to wait until Sila's message came through before communicating with her.

Despite his thoughts, Josh kept his eyes glued to the communicator, afraid of missing any messages from Silla.

Here, Sila, fully equipped with a clean white coat and disposable gloves, began the cleaning journey of this poor little mop.

"It was injured by a nasty saw-toothed centipede. We just brushed past it, and there wasn't even any conflict. Abu was running home when he collapsed, and that's when I realized he was injured." The girl next to him said, tears welling in her eyes, trying to hold back her breakdown as she sobbed.

Sila glanced at her, thinking how lucky she was to have encountered a saw-toothed centipede and emerged unscathed.

"Don't cry yet, please believe me, okay? I'm the best veterinarian here."

"Okay, okay," the girl agreed, but she was a little worried. This was the only veterinary clinic in the area, and the most skilled veterinarian there.
