sofsilk black sutures / 5-0 / 19mm / 45cm / c-13 / box of 36

DESCRIPTION

• Sofsilk silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers known as fibroin.
• These fibers undergo a treatment process to eliminate the naturally occurring sericin gum and are then braided to create Sofsilk surgical silk sutures.
• Available in a braided form, these sutures can be uniformly coated with silicone or a special wax mixture.
• This coating serves to reduce capillarity and enhance surface lubricity, thereby improving handling characteristics, ease of tissue passage, and knot run-down properties during surgical procedures.
• Sofsilk sutures are suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, with applications ranging from cardiovascular and ophthalmic to microsurgery and neurological procedures.
• Their reliability and versatility make them an essential component in various surgical settings.
