Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Sofsilk™ Silk C-17 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 2 Braided

Features

• 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
