ANS: B
Aesthetic appearance, especially of the body surface is important. Surgeons have personal preferences of closure materials. Synthetic nonabsorbable and absorbable polymers are used more commonly because they cause less tissue reaction. Atraumatic swaged-on suture needles of small diameter minimize trauma to superficial tissue. The goal is to use material that will result in minimal scarring.
