Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) specifies diameter ranges for sutures, among other quality standards for drugs, medical devices, and dietary supplements. The ANSI and B&S are standardization organizations for industrial measurements, while the FDA regulates the safety and effectiveness of medical products including sutures, but does not specify diameter ranges.
