Stedman's Surgical lists both of these. How do I know which the surgeon is referring to?

Could "Tycron" be an error?

Thanks....

Listed in Tessier's Surgical Word Book as:

quote:
Tycron sutures (also Ti-Cron)
Ti-Cron sutures (also Tycron)

It looks like you can spell it either way.

Vera Pyle's "Current Medical Terminology" lists both. The entry for Ti-Cron refers the reader to Tycron. Here's the entry for Tycron:
quote:
Tycron suture—nonabsorbable polyester fiber surgical suture. Tycron and Ti-Cron are sold by different manufacturers but appear to be the same material.
