Silk
Silk Surgical Sutures are non-absorbable braided natural fiber threads valued for their exceptional handling properties, pliability, and secure knot formation. Silk sutures tie easily and hold knots reliably, making them preferred for ligation of vessels, mucosal closures, and procedures where suture removal is planned. While not absorbed by the body, silk provides moderate tensile strength and is well tolerated in oral, ophthalmic, and general surgical applications. Available across standard USP sizes with diverse needle configurations for operating room and outpatient surgical use.
