Les ciseaux à suture [sont] indispensables pour couper les fils avec précision, ils permettent, lorsqu'ils sont correctement affûtés, de couper d'un geste le fil sans le déchiqueter, ce qui garantit la qualité du nœud d'arrêt. 6, record 1, French, - ciseaux%20%C3%A0%20suture

Les termes «ligature» et «suture» ne sont pas synonymes. Ligature désigne le matériel (fils d'origine animale, végétale, minérale ou synthétique) utilisé pour lier un vaisseau sanguin ou lymphatique (hémostase), un conduit naturel, une portion de tissu, d'organe ou de tumeur. Il désigne également le résultat de cette action. La suture est tout procédé (fils, agrafes, pansement collé, etc.) qui permet la réunion des berges d'une plaie ou le rétablissement de la continuité d'un tissu ou d'un organe. Stricto sensu, la suture est une couture, alors que la ligature est un nœud. 7, record 1, French, - ciseaux%20%C3%A0%20suture
