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! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-02-16 13:03:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You might want to "translate" into USP size. In that case 2 metric = 3/0 USP. See the table in this link. http://www.ag-tek.com/win/kane_products/surgicryl.shtml Reference: http://www.syneture.com/imageServer.aspx?contentID=4282&cont... |
