Medtronic Sofsilk Suture, Black, Size 18", GS-22 Needle, D/T

The Medtronic Sofsilk Suture, Black, Size 18", GS-22 Needle, D/T covers everyday requirements across clinical and laboratory settings. Sofsilk silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin.

Key Features

• The silk fibers are treated to remove the naturally-occurring sericin gum and braided to produce Sofsilk surgical silk sutures.
• The braided sutures are available coated uniformly with either silicone or a special wax mixture to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity which enhances handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties.
• Sofsilk sutures are for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, microsurgery, and neurological surgery.
