The following are characteristics of an ideal sutures EXCEPT*···/2Should elicit minimal tissue reactionsNo definite number Non-allergenicNon-carcinogenicnon-capillary

To answer the question, we need to identify the characteristics of an ideal suture and then determine which one is NOT included in the given options.

Step 1: Identify the characteristics of an ideal suture:

• Should elicit minimal tissue reactions
• No definite number
• Non-allergenic
• Non-carcinogenic
• Non-capillary

Step 2: Compare the characteristics with the given options:

• Option 1: "Should elicit minimal tissue reactions" - This matches one of the characteristics of an ideal suture.
• Option 2: "No definite number" - This matches another characteristic of an ideal suture.
• Option 3: "Non-allergenic" - This matches another characteristic of an ideal suture.
• Option 4: "Non-carcinogenic" - This matches another characteristic of an ideal suture.
• Option 5: "Non-capillary" - This matches another characteristic of an ideal suture.

Step 3: Determine the characteristic that is NOT included in the given options: Based on the comparison, all the given options match the characteristics of an ideal suture. Therefore, none of the options is the correct answer.

In conclusion, the given options do not exclude any characteristics of an ideal suture.
