dissolvable internal staples

Had a c-section  one week ago.Today I had a doctors appointment  to check my incision,and my doctor told me he had used internal dissolvable  staples. I've  never heard of dissolvable  staples and I'm  kind of freaking out? Has anyone  heard about them?

Same, as the above comment! It could be a new thing.. but that's actually pretty awesome. At least you don't need to get anything taken out.
