Medtronic Black Sofsilk Wax Coated Braided Silk Suture, 6-0, 18", CV-1

The Medtronic Black Sofsilk Wax Coated Braided Silk Suture, 6-0, 18", CV-1 is specified for demanding clinical and facility environments. Sofsilk silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin. Specifications include latex-free materials.

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.
