Which suture size is larger, 2-0 or 4-0?

2-0
4-0
Allis Tissue Forceps
Mayo Scissor

The correct answer is: 2-0

Suture size is indicated by numbers, with larger numbers representing smaller diameter sutures. In this case, 2-0 suture size is larger than 4-0 suture size. The larger the first number, the thicker the suture material, so 2-0 suture is thicker than 4-0 suture. Therefore, the correct answer is A - 2-0. The other options, such as Allis Tissue Forceps and Mayo Scissor, are not related to suture sizes and do not apply to the comparison between 2-0 and 4-0 sutures.
