Surgimedic - Model SURSILK -Non Absorbable Silk Sutures
FromSurgimedic
SURSILK is a type of non-absorbable suture made from braided fibers derived from silkworm cocoons, coated with wax to enhance smoothness and ease of handling. Known for its moderate tissue reaction, SURSILK sutures are available in black and are typically used in various surgical applications, including general soft tissue closure, skin closure, gastrointestinal, oral, gynecological, ophthalmic, and obstetric surgeries. Its key feature is eliciting an initial inflammatory reaction followed by gradual encapsulation by fibrous tissue, providing reliable support during the healing process. While SURSILK offers versatile uses in numerous surgeries, it is contraindicated for urological and biliary procedures due to the risk of stone formation. The sutures are offered in USP sizes 6/0 to 1, with customizable packaging options. Their design meets the rigorous demands of surgical environments, ensuring performance and reliability.Most popular related searches
