2. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

   Modern sutures range from #5 (heavy braided suture for orthopedics) to #11-0 (fine monofilament suture for ophthalmics). Atraumatic needles are manufactured in all shapes for most sizes. The actual diameter of thread for a given U.S.P. size differs depending on the suture material class.

5. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

   The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.

   ] The suture is sterilized with a sterilizing fluid containing ethylene oxide, isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. [3] Catgut suture is straw-colored, and is available in sizes USP 6-0 (1 metric) to USP 3 (7 metric). Although the name implies the usage of guts of cats, there is no record of feline guts being used for this purpose.
