Linda,a Veteran Perioperative Nurse,remembers a Time When All Suture Needles

Linda,a veteran perioperative nurse,remembers a time when all suture needles had eyes and she even had her own needle rack.She hand-threaded all sutures according to the surgeon's preference.The newer sutures were originally called "atraumatic" sutures because they did not double back through a needle eye and cause tissue trauma during pulling or suturing through the tissue.Today,we call this manufacturing process of connecting the suture thread to the needle:

A) engineered crimp.
B) controlled release.
C) reverse cutting.
D) swaged.
