Abstract:
Surgical suture is a common medical device made extensive use of hold body tissues together after an injury or surgery. Suture sizes are associated with the requirement of diameter and tensile strength in standard. They correspond with one by one. Suture sizes should be unified, standardized and correctly marked for correct and convenient selection in surgery. Using the average diameter of single suture is more scientific and reasonable than that of multiple sutures in marking.
