Nonabsorbable Ligating Reel with Suture Sofsilk™ Silk Size 4-0 98 Inch Suture Braided

Features

• COVIDIEN Sofsilk sutures are non-absorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin
• The braided sutures are available coated uniformly with either silicone or a special wax mixture to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity, which enhances handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties
• The manufacturing process, from braiding to coating, gives the suture superior softness and compliance for maximum surgical handling
• The proprietary coating process provides smooth flow through tissue while maintaining optimal knot security
• Sofsilk sutures are for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, microsurgery, and neurological surgery
