SILKUS
Product Details:
| Composition: | Silk |
| Construction: | Braided |
| Coating: | Coated with Silicon to give ‘hand’ to the suture. |
| In vitro retention of strength: | Although Silkus® is classified as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year. |
| Tissue Reaction: | Silk being a natural fibre elicits an inflammatory reaction, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue |
| Absorption Time: | Although Silkus® is classified as a non-absorbable suture, it gets completely absorbed in 2 years. Hence, it can be considered as a very slow absorbing suture |
| Sterilization: | 100% Ethylene Oxide |
| Available in Sizes: | 8-0, 7-0, 6-0, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, 1 |
| Colour : | Black |
| Shelf Life: | 5 years |
| Packaging: | Box of 12 suture |
