Sofsilktm. Braided non-absorbable coated silk

Material description: Sofsilktm suture is a non-absorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical suture material consisting of natural protein silk fibers fibroin. This protein is obtained from domesticated caterpillars of the Bombyx mori silkworm family bombycidae. To obtain SOFSILKTM surgical suture material
silk fibers
processed to remove sericin grease, bleached, woven. The braided threads are evenly coated with silicone or a special wax formulation to reduce capillarity and increase wettability, ensuring optimal handling properties, smooth passage through the fabric and lowering of the knot.
Material Characteristic: The production process from weaving to coating provides the suture with excellent softness and handling properties. A special coating process ensures smooth passage through the fabric, with optimal knot reliability.
Indications:
Sofsilk tTM suture
is intended for tissue matching and/or ligation, for use in general, thoracic, cardiovascular surgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics and neurosurgery.
Action: SOFSILKTM suture material causes minimal inflammatory reaction in tissues and is rapidly encapsulated.
Durability: SofsilkTM suture is non-absorbable. Degradation of silk protein fibers in vivo can lead to a partial loss of suture strength over time. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation.
Packaging: Sofsilk tm suture is available in white or black-colored extract of the campesha tree, and is coated with either silicone or a special wax formulation, in sizes from 5 (metric size 7) and 2 (metric size 5) to 9-0 (metric size 0.3). SOFSILKTM sterile suture is available in lengths and coils, in a needle-free design, or with various types of needles permanently fixed or removable. It is formed in boxes of 12, 24 or 36 pieces.
