摘要

The surgeons mainly used absorbable and non-absorbable suture materials. The commonly used suture materials are nylon, polypropylene, polyglactin, silk, polyester, polyglycolic acid, etc. Because of the material’s different densities, the diameter of the sutures is changed. The USP/EP number, which denotes only the diameter of the suture, can mislead the surgeons during the selection of the respective suture material on the basis of diameter. Therefore, an attempt has been made to unify the textile numbering system and the existing USP/EP numbering system by considering the suture material density and diameter together.
