SILK (Braided) — genuine, batch-traceable stock, quoted within one business day.
Silk is a braided, non-absorbable natural suture renowned for the best handling and knot security of any suture material — a long-standing workhorse for ligation and general closure.
Although technically non-absorbable, silk loses tensile strength gradually and is encapsulated by the body over time. Its soft, braided construction lies flat and ties down securely, which is why surgeons reach for it when handling characteristics matter most.
Common uses include vessel ligation, securing drains and tubes, bowel and oral surgery, and general soft-tissue approximation where permanent absorption is not required.
