The tensile strength and knot-tying properties of a surgical suture material are determined not only by the starting material and structure, but also by the thickness of the thread. Classification of thread size must therefore be precise. Within the purview of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP), suture size is classified according to a decimal system. This denotes the diameter of the suture as a multiple of 0.1 mm.
