1 hr confidence:

metric

Explanation:
This refers to the size of the suture. There are two ways of measuring, one is the that of the US Pharmacopoeia (calibre = size) and the other one that of the European Pharmacopoeia (décimal = metric).

You can see it in the multilingual Instructions For Use I have attached as reference.

Hope this helps!

You might want to "translate" into USP size. In that case 2 metric = 3/0 USP. See the table in this link.
