Description

Product Details ;
Composition		Silk
Construction		Braided
Coating		Coated with Silicon to give ‘hand’ to the suture
In vitro retention of strength		Although Silkus is classified as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year.
Tissue Reaction		Silk being a natural fibre elicits an inflammatory reaction, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
Absorption Time		Although Silkus is classified as a non-absorbable suture, it gets completely absorbed in 2 years. Hence, it can be considered as a very slow absorbing suture.
Sterilization		100% Ethylene Oxide
Available in Sizes		8-0, 7-0, 6-0, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, 1
Color		Black
Shelf Life		5 years
Packaging		Box of 12 sutures

 

Distinctive Features:
Coated with silicon to allow easy passage through tissue, limit absorption and increase ductility.
Knot pull strength and needle swage strength greater than USP limits.
Packed using Tyvek paper for extra security.
Dyed black for better visibility.
