Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for closing a laceration or wound (i.e., suturing/stitching) on the skin. Items in these kits usually include an anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) vials, needles, syringes, probes, sutures, suture needles, scalpels, scissors, disinfectant swabs, and dressings. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Suture procedure kits and trays are intended for suturing lacerations, minor cuts, and superficial wounds to help decrease pain and help heal faster. They are mainly used in the field and in hospitals\' emergency rooms.
