Wholesale Silk Surgical Suture – Braided, Non-Absorbable, USP 8/0 to 4 Supply

Description

🧬 Product Overview: Wholesale Silk Surgical Suture

The Silk Non-absorbable Suture is a sterile, multifilament surgical suture made from the natural protein fibroin, sourced from the Bombyx mori silkworm. This organic silk fiber is carefully processed to remove sericin, waxes, and gums. It is then braided and coated with medical-grade silicone to significantly enhance tensile strength, smoothness, and ease of handling during surgery.

As a trusted wholesale supplier of surgical sutures, we provide high-quality silk thread that meets the rigorous demands of operating theaters worldwide. The primary advantage of our braided silk suture lies in its exceptional tactile feel and renowned performance in tissue approximation and ligation. Although often classified as a non-absorbable suture, it is important to note that the material gradually loses all tensile strength over an extended period (typically after one year), and is therefore used in procedures where permanent, indefinite wound support is not critical.

✅ Key Features & Advantages:

Material & Construction Excellence

• Derived from natural silk (Bombyx mori), a time-tested material for its flexibility
• Braided structure provides superior control, flexibility, and resistance to breakage
• Coated with silicone for a smooth surface and easy passage through tissue, minimizing drag and trauma
• High initial tensile strength for reliable closure integrity
• Excellent knot security and handling performance, preferred by surgeons for decades

Sterility and Sizing

• Dyed black (for high contrast) or undyed (depending on size and request for surface procedures)
• Available in a comprehensive range of USP sizes: 8/0 to 4, accommodating everything from micro-surgery to general closure
• Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas, ensuring the highest level of sterility without compromising thread integrity

🩺 Indications for Use (Clinical Applications)

Silk Non-absorbable Surgical Sutures are indicated for:

• General surgery for various soft tissue closures
• Soft Tissue Ligation & Approximation where controlled tension is required
• Ophthalmic Surgery due to the availability of fine USP sizes (down to 8/0)
• Cardiovascular and Neurological procedures for non-critical, temporary support
• Dental and Plastic Surgeries where easy removal is beneficial

⚠️ Important Note on Non-Absorbable Use: Due to its gradual loss of strength over time, silk suture should not be used in areas requiring permanent wound support. Surgeons must consider the anticipated wound healing time. The material’s gradual degradation is why it is often preferred over truly permanent materials when the suture is intended for deep, slow-healing tissue that will eventually rely on its own biological strength, such as in abdominal wall closures.
