Silk

Overview
Premisut SILK suture is a sterile multifilament braided non-absorbable surgical suture prepared from an organic protein called fibroin. This protein is derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori of the family Bombycidae. Natural Silk contains approximately 30% extraneous material or gum which is removed by "Degumming" process. This process is essential for a compact braid while ensuring that the filaments retain their natural body and elasticity. Premisut SILK suture is dyed with black Hematoxylin and coated with bees wax.
Premisut-Silk
Premisut SILK suture is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological tissues.

Premisut SILK suture elicits an initial inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. While Premisut SILK suture is not absorbed, progressive degradation of the proteinaceous silk fibres in vivo may result in gradual loss of the suture's tensile strength over a period of time.

The technical characteristics may slightly vary or be adjusted depending on the needs of each market (e.g. coating, tensile strength, needle composition, packaging etc)
