Moreover!
Chen Cang was going to use a round needle and he intended to choose the thinnest type available.
After some deliberation, Chen Cang decided on a suture needle that he had often used in the hospital: the ET164 suture needle, a number four round needle, 16mm in length. This needle was very thin and typically came with a number four thread, and it was quite short, only 16mm.
This type of round needle was generally used to suture blood vessels due to its limited sharpness and because it was very fine. If someone were to suggest using it to suture skin, that would be considered complete nonsense!
Yet, Chen Cang's idea was to use a number four thread "tail bridge" in addition to this tiny ET164 to suture the skin!
Only by doing so, could he achieve the best results in terms of the suture properties and the appearance of the repaired skin!
Of course, this type of suture came with a high cost.
