from a suture manufacturer ...

from a suture supply catelog online it works like this:
All items are listed by size from largest suture diameter to smallest. Please scroll down to find the size you are looking for or you may click the links below to jump directly to the size you are looking for: (this is for silk sutures)
5 2 1 0 2-0 3-0 4-0 5-0 6-0 7-0
so 5 (or #5 as I would type it) is the thickest -- I would use the pound sign to make sure that I was not talking about "five silk sutures" ... I don't know why but my vague recollection is that I "decided" to type 0 without a pound sign, except because size versus number is not applicable.
I have also read that for example 2-0 can also be written 00 and 3-0 as 000 which I think is a hold over from wire gauge measurements.
the url for the site is: esutures.com
=========================================================
My current BOS irritant is the "rule" to leave off the 0.0 in for example 98.0 as a temp which is okay but orthopedic screw sets, called 4.0, four-point-oh, seems a bit rule-bound. I can't seem to get an opinion on this ...

sue the manufacturer of the swing set and
the plastic pool because they blew over, too.
Always go to the manufacturer's websites and use it they way they have it!
It is DERMABOND - all caps. The Stedman's books are incorrect.
I know for a fact, as I even called the manufacturer on the telephone to clarify. I was so annoyed because my QA person just kept changing it to lower case - until now of course when I cleared that up.
Get a drug that you can sue the manufacturer for later. sm
Get cured now, get rich later. Check out the lawyers' ads on late night TV. "Did you take this drug? Are you still alive, just barely? Then call this toll free number now before you die so we can collect a settlement for you." Good luck.
Manufacturer? Have you tried their website?
There is not information in your post for anyone to provide you with an answer.
I was also appalled and wrote the manufacturer

No, OEM is original equipment manufacturer, so it
would be a legit piece of equipment/software and able to be registered. Don't know what version of WP, but 5.1 is no longer supported.
Original Equipment Manufacturer - nm

When it says the manufacturer was telephoned for verification, yes. nm

Does the manufacturer have a website? Maybe it'll be listed. Or try

Try the "support" section of the manufacturer's website.
Meanwhile... my favorite cure for just about everything, that seems to work more often than not, is to shut everything down, and I do mean everything--turn off the printer, turn off the computer it's attached to, take out the paper and put it back in, maybe even take out the ink cartridge and put it back in, maybe even disconnect the printer (with the power OFF!) and reconnect it; then turn everything back on, in the normal order, and see if that cures the problem. Sometimes when things haven't been powered down in a while, or a computer hasn't been shut down and restarted, things can get confused internally. No, that's not a very technical explanation, but I once had a programmer tell me to shut down and reboot the server at least once a month because if you don't, it "can't find the top of its own desk." (Guess that IS a technical explanation.)
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you... try tech support on the manufacturer's website.
