Description

Silk sutures are nonabsorbable surgical threads composed of fibroin, a natural protein derived from silkworms. These sutures are meticulously braided to ensure a uniform, smooth surface, enhancing their handling properties and knot security. The 4-0 black silk suture, measuring 18 inches in length, is designed for optimal tensile strength, providing reliable tissue approximation in various surgical procedures.

Equipped with a 19 mm reverse cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, this suture is ideal for use in delicate tissues requiring precise penetration with minimal trauma. The precision-engineered needle is designed for consistent strength and durability, ensuring it retains sharpness throughout multiple passes. The reverse cutting design allows for efficient suturing in tougher tissues while minimizing tearing or excessive tissue damage.

The black color of the silk suture enhances visibility in the surgical field, aiding in accurate placement and reducing the risk of misalignment. The non-reflective finish on the needle prevents glare under bright surgical lights, improving clarity and precision during procedures. These features make it particularly advantageous in plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and oral surgery.
