Lotus Silkus USP 1 Suture - WN215 Pack of 12

Description:

Braided Non-Absorbable Suture is a medical-grade suture material used in various surgical procedures for wound closure and tissue approximation.

Key Features:

Material: Silk is a non-absorbable material, meaning it doesn't break down or get absorbed by the body over time.

This characteristic allows the suture to provide long-term support to the wound.

Braided Structure: The suture is braided, which imparts strength and flexibility.

Braided sutures distribute tension evenly along the suture line and are less likely to cut through delicate tissues.

Coating: The silk material is often coated to improve handling characteristics, enhance knot security, and reduce tissue drag.

Coating can also add some degree of smoothness to the suture for ease of use.

Benefits:

Braided coated silk non-absorbable sutures find applications in various surgical procedures,

General Surgery: Used for closure in various general surgical procedures where long-term suture support is required.

Plastic Surgery: Employed in plastic and reconstructive surgery for delicate tissue closures.

Ophthalmic Surgery: Silk sutures may be used in certain ophthalmic procedures due to their smoothness and ease of handling.

Cardiovascular Surgery: Used in specific cardiovascular surgeries where a non-absorbable suture material is necessary.
