What are the little pieces of clear plastic wire sticking out of your incisions?

The material used to make a stitch is not any type of wire but a clear, thin, but strong filament. There are different types of this material, depending on the type of wound and whether the physician wants the body to absorb the material during healing or whether the stitches will be removed later. An incision will usually have the deepest layers sewn together by stitches that the body will dissolve and absorb. The topmost layers may use either the ones that are absorbed or the ones that must be removed. Most often, the ones that are absorbed are made of clear material. A dark brown to black stitch are ones a doctor will clip (snip) and remove.
A note of caution: Never pull, tug, or play with a stitch "sticking out" of an incision. First, you may damage internal healing. Second, you may accidentally open the incision and cause an infection. Third, the ends are left sticking up so the end of the stitch is easy to grasp so the physician has a place to hold while cutting the connection to another stitch.

Pull it out of the fuse block with a pair of needle nose pliers if you don't have a fuse puller. It is a little square piece of plastic with 2 metal tabs sticking out of it. Hold it up and look at it. There is a little piece of metal wire inbedded in the central plastic area of the fuse. It it is blown, the metal wire is broken in the middle of it. It is in 2 pieces rather than one. You can always take a DVOM and test the two leads of the fuse on the Ohm scale.
