BLACK
Braided Coated Silk,
non-absorbable thread.
Only for Veterinary use.
Product Details:
| Composition | Silk |
| Construction | Braided |
| Coating | Coated with Silicon to give ‘hand’ to the suture |
| In vitro retention of strength | Although Silkus® Vet is classied as a non-absorbable suture, however, progressive degradation of the silk bre in vivo may result in gradual loss of tensile strength over time |
| Tissue Reaction | Silk being a natural bre elicits an inammatory reaction, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by brous connective tissue |
| Absorption Time | Non-absorbable |
| Sterilization | In Cassettes:- Irradiation. Foil Packs:- 100% Ethylene Oxide. |
| Colour | Black |
| Shelf Life | 5 years |
| Packaging | In Cassettes:- Box of 5. Foil Packs:- Box of 12 and 36. |
Coated with silicon to allow easy passage through tissue, limit absorption and increase ductility.
Knot pull strength and needle swage strength greater than USP limits.
Packed using Tyvek paper for extra security.
Dyed black for better visibility.
