do you need to know how to spell it, but also learn what it is that you are typing (and save yourself the embarassment of having one of your reports make the "laughing rounds" at the hospital or company that you're working for). :>)

I could easily produce half a dozen "Books of Style" that contradict each other.

AAMT is not infallible. Their BOS provides a guideline, but it should not be used as a "bible".

It sounds exactly like I wrote it, but doctors have been known to create their own words and ways of phrasing sentences. It is just confusing for some of us new MT's. :-( Thanks so much for your help.

Suture Selection Criteria

Follow these steps to determine the ideal suture for your procedure.

Step 1

Know the Sutures in the Novartis-Ethicon Family

Step 2

Know Your Tissue Healing Rate

Step 3

Select the Correct Tensile Strength for the Tissue

Step 4

Choose the Correct Needle

TAPER NEEDLES

Used in easily penetrated tissues such as peritoneum, abdominal viscera, subcutaneous layers, etc.
Minimizes tissue "cut-out". Smallest possible hole in tissue is created with minimal tissue cutting.
Also ideal for closing hollow organs to prevent damage.

REVERSE CUTTING NEEDLES

Used in tough, difficult to penetrate tissues such as skin, fascia, ligament, etc.
Less tissue "cut-out" than standard cutting needles.
