Mean area in mm2 of all instruments are shown. Brackets indicate statistical comparison. Suture Retrievers produced a significantly larger area of lesion in mm2 of the bone wax plate than Suture Shuttles. Neither, there was a significant difference of straight and angled instruments within the group of Suture Retrievers, nor within the group of Suture Shuttles. *p = <0.05 † p= > 0.05
