Silk Braided Silicon Coated Sutures
Silk Braided Silicon Coated Sutures
International Quality Black
Braided Silicon coated Silk Suture.
Virtues
Virtues
- The finest quality braided natural silk for the ultimate in handling and knot security.
- Silk is degummed to the highest level to eliminate all toxic elements for the maximum safety and reliability.
- Silk is dyed with non-irritant and non-toxic colors. It is colored black for higher visibility during surgery and has least memory. Its modern braiding techniques provide a uniform, smooth and a greater tensile strength than the prescribed USP limits.
Material
Silk Surgical Suture is coated with
specially developed silicon for extra smooth surface like monofilament,
which allows easy passage through the tissue and non capillary action.
Tissue Reaction
Silk Surgical Suture elicits minimal
acute inflammatory reactions in tissues, which is followed by gradual
encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. While Silk
suture is not absorbed, progressive degradation of the proteinaceous
silk fiber in vivo may result in gradual loss of the suture's tensile
strength over time.
Cautions
The use of this suture is
contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to
silk. Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength, which may occur over
prolonged periods in vivo, Silk suture should not be used where
permanent retention of tensile strength is required.
Application
Indicated for use in Cardiovascular,
ophthalmic and neurological procedures and also in general, soft tissue
approximation and / or ligation
Choice
Silk Surgical Suture is available in
USP sizes 6/0 through 1 supplied Sterile in precut lengths non needled
and affixed to various types of atraumatic channel needles in one dozen
boxes, also non sterile on spools of 25 mtrs in container of 6 spools.
Warnings
In case of Non Sterile Spools
repeated and prolonged sterilization should be avoided for superior
performance.
Sterilization
Silk Surgical Suture is sterilized
by Gamma Radiation.
