Classic silk suture is non-absorbable natural protein fiber, woven into an appropriate number of silk fibers. The suture is coated in silicone and paraffin to soften the surface.
Suitable for all surgery and periodontal surgery.
A silk suture is made from natural silk fiber known for its strength and biocompatibility.
Silk suture threads are usually manufactured as multifilament threads, which means they consist of several thin silk fibers twisted together. This construction makes them flexible and gives them the ability to adapt to the shape and movement of the wound.
Some of the advantages of silk sutures include:
1. Strength and durability: Silk sutures are known for their high tensile strength, making them suitable for suturing wounds or cuts that require extra support or resistance to tension.
2. Biocompatibility: Silk is a natural material that is normally well tolerated by the body. It has a low risk of causing tissue reactions or inflammation, which contributes to a more comfortable healing process for the patient.
3. Flexibility: Silk sutures are flexible and easy to work with. They can be adapted to the shape and movement of the wound without creating unnecessary stress on the surrounding tissue.
It is important to note that silk sutures do not normally dissolve or be absorbed by the body over time. Therefore, they typically require removal with the help of a doctor when the wound has healed sufficiently
