Answer to Question 1

If the packages touch the walls of the autoclave, the material will scorch or even catch fire. If
the packages touch each other, they will block the flow of steam through the package.

Answer to Question 2

Size 3/0 suture material is 6 times thinner than size 3 suture material.
