Trying to figure out how to type this ---- ortho surgery with Synthes LCP plate. Says "number two five" Mersilene tape..... Would that be #25? That doesn't seem right to me and I saw that another MT typed it as "two #5" Mersilene tape. Not sure if dictator said it wrong in my report-- appreciate any input.
