Medtronic Black Sofsilk Wax Coated Braided Silk Suture - S-255 - 24 Each

Medtronic Black Sofsilk Wax Coated Braided Silk Suture

The Medtronic Black Sofsilk Wax Coated Braided Silk Suture is held for professional buyers who need dependable, repeatable supply. 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.
