Q1

Wounds tend to be susceptible to infection during inflammatory phase of healing, when bacteria contamination caused infection, especially in the presence of:

• Scar tissue

•  Foreign Material

• Macrophages

• Large hernia

Q2 What is the function of sutures:

i. To ligate blood vessel 

ii. To approximate tissue 

iii. To gauze wound 

iv. To glue skin 

• ii. only

• iii. & iv.

• i. & ii.

• iv only

Q3 What is the defintion of suture tensile strength

• Tensile strength describes the state until the complete decomposition of suture

• Tensile strength defines the period in which the suture effects its function to support the tissue

•  Tensile strength starts with implantation of the suture and ends with its absorption

• Tensile strength describes the suture ability to be stretched, pulled, or drawn into a thin wire or thread without breaking

Q4 Which of the following is the smallest suture diameter?

• 0

• 5/0

• 2/0

• 4

Synthetic sutures are broken down by ______ process, while natural sutures are broken down by ______ process

• Hydrolytic, enzymatic

• Enzymatic, hydrolytic

•  Phagocytosis, enzymatic

• Hydrolytic, Phagocytosis

Q6. What type of suture has the highest memory?

• Monofilament

• Multifilament

• Braided

• Synthetic

Q7 What is the name of this suture?

Short-term absorbable, braided, undyed

Q8. What is the name of this suture?

Mid-term absorbable, coating, braided, violet

• Monosyn

• Premicron

• MonoPlus

• Novosyn

Q9. What is the disadvantage of multifilament suture material?

•      Difficult to handle

• Poor knot security

• Provoke a greater tissue reaction

• Have a higher infection risk

Q10 What is the advantage of monofilament suture material?

• Strong firm knot, difficult to handle

•   Minimal tissue reactivity, reduced risk of infection

•    Low risk of infection, greater tissue reaction

•   Less Throws required, better knot security
