| Description | Sidney Smith, physician at the University of Chicago and developer of a new method of suturing, demonstrates the process. A glucose rod (small tube between arteries) gives support for suture threading. Coated with cocoa butter, the rod dissolves in 30 seconds after blood begins to flow through the sutured section (close-up). |
