Hi Everyone..
Having a problem referencing this...
He dictates....
"The interior fascia layers were closed with interrupted 1-0 pop-off Vicryl sutures."
BUT I can't seem to find a reference for this. Everything else I've researched about "pop-off" sutures has it formatted with the name first: Vicryl pop-off sutures, etc.

thanks in advance..for any help or suggestions.
