Description

Silk 6-0 black sutures are non-absorbable surgical sutures composed of natural silk fibers, braided using a modern technique to provide a uniform, smooth surface with enhanced tensile strength. The braided construction ensures superior knot security and handling properties, making it an optimal choice for delicate surgical applications. The black coloration enhances visibility, allowing for precise placement during suturing.

The suture is equipped with a G-1 reverse cutting needle, specifically designed for penetrating dense or fibrous tissues with minimal resistance. The reverse cutting edge enhances sharpness, ensuring precise incisions while reducing tissue trauma. The 1X18 configuration provides sufficient suture material for intricate surgical techniques, while the double-armed design allows for symmetrical suturing and uniform tension distribution.

As a non-absorbable material, silk maintains its tensile integrity over time but gradually degrades through enzymatic proteolysis. While not permanent, its prolonged strength retention makes it suitable for procedures requiring extended wound support. The suture induces a mild inflammatory response, leading to fibrous encapsulation, which enhances long-term stability within the tissue.
