Subject: 18-gauge needle types - (sm)
I lent out my equipment words book and never got it back! Argh! Anyone know these two needles...
1. S/L 'hausted' needle or 'halstead' needle.
2. S/L 'suss-man' needle.
I will go to Ebay and find another one of these, since I'm apparently not getting mine back, but in the meantime I'd be SO thankful for any ideas!

I just don't hear "murmur" though. He is a heavy ESL so it could be murmur I guess. He says this on several patients and I cannot hear murmur in any. I will keep listening.

Ŗ-0" is a very common suture size ... /sm
Subject: Ŗ-0" is a very common suture size ... /sm
Vicryl sutures are used for a lot of surgeries, and size is measured by "0" -- I used to have a surgeon always said "double-ott" sutures -- meaning "OO" or "2-0"
If they are using more than one strand of suture material, I have heard surgeons say "double stranded" before, but not "dual stranded.
Have a good day.
