 Ladies, I am desparate. Takes too long to here back from QKL, so I'm asking you. ASR types suture material O chromic. I have always just put 0 chromic in the past, but now know that zero is never to be type 0 by itself. How does everybody else transcribe it? Don't want to get dinged later for it. Thanks in advance.
