Is there a preferred way to type all the sutures?  Like would you type #0 PDS or just 0 PDS and then what about 4-0 Dexon, would it be #4-0?


Thanks


prolene
Subject: prolene

I work for a hospital so all docs are different. One always says "number four O", etc. Some just say "four O" I have always went with the 4-0 without the # sign before it. Others use the # sign so I was wondering if I was wrong or if it was just a preference. Thanks

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.

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!
