Description
Braided non absorbable Silk suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation but not for use in cardiovascular tissues and tissues of the central nervous system.
The implantation of the SILK suture in tissues results to an initial inflammatory reaction, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by connective tissues.
SILK sutures are not absorbed, but the protein fibers are progressively deg raded with gradual loss of their tensile strength
