Classic silk suture is a non-absorbable natural protein fiber, woven in an appropriate number of silk fibers. The suture is coated in silicone and paraffin to make the surface flexible.
Suitable for all surgery and periodontal surgery.
A silk suture is made from natural silk fiber, which is known for its strength and biocompatibility.
Silk sutures are usually manufactured as multifilament threads, which means they consist of several thin silk fibers twisted together. This construction makes them flexible and gives them the ability to adapt to the shape and movement of the wound.
Some of the benefits of silk sutures include:
1. Strength and durability: Silk sutures are known for their high tensile strength, making them well-suited for suturing wounds or incisions that require extra support or resistance to tension.
2. Biocompatibility: Silk is a natural material that is usually well tolerated by the body. It has a low risk of causing tissue reactions or inflammation, which contributes to a more comfortable healing process for the patient.
3. Flexibility: Silk sutures are flexible and easy to work with. They can adapt to the shape and movement of the wound without creating unnecessary stress on the surrounding tissue.
It is important to note that silk sutures do not usually dissolve or absorb into the body over time, so they typically require removal by a doctor once the wound has healed sufficiently.
