With surgical/suture needles, what do these codes/abbreviations mean?

I’m shopping for a suture kit (probably best you don’t ask why) and I keep seeing these abbreviations in regards to the needles. I’ve Googled and Googled and I cannot figure out what they stand for. I want to make sure I get the right kind of kit—I need a cutting needle for this purpose.
But, for example.. one kit says it’s NFS-1, another NFS-2, another FS-2. Another is P3, another PS-2.. and so on.
What do these mean?
