sutures please help

Ladies, I am desparate.  Takes too long to here back from QKL, so I'm asking you.  ASR types suture material O chromic.  I have always just put 0 chromic in the past, but now know that zero is never to be type 0 by itself.  How does everybody else transcribe it?  Don't want to get dinged later for it.  Thanks in advance.


5.0 sutures?
Subject: 5.0 sutures?

Hi, all.

I have a doc who is repairing a finger laceration. He says he used 4 simple interrupted 5.0 nylon sutures. Does he mean 5-0 nylon sutures, or is there such a thing as a 5.0 nylon suture?

Thanks!
