Methods of sizing paper using a latex as a surface sizing agent are described, in which the latex is defined by acid number or particle size. A hinge member is rotatably fixed at the first body end for turning about an axis, and a corkscrew is connected to the hinge member. Portions of the body tissue may be pressed into linear apposition with each other and held in place by cooperation between the suture and the suture retainer. The system further includes a detection apparatus on a surface of the vehicle.
