The SILK BRAIDED BLACK 4/0 DS19 is a specific type of non-absorbable surgical suture made of natural silk fibers, typically used for general soft tissue closing and ligation. The DS19 refers to the size and shape of the attached needle.

Product Specifications:

Suture Material: Braided multifilament made from the natural protein fiber (fibroin) produced by the silkworm.

Absorption: It is non-absorbable and causes an initial inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is then gradually encapsulated by fibrous connective tissue. It offers tissue support for up to three months.

Color: Black, for better visibility in tissue.

Coating: Coated with waxes or silicone to reduce capillarity and allow for a smooth passage through tissues.

Handling: Known for excellent handling properties, high flexibility, and excellent knot security.

Indications: Commonly used in general surgery, skin closure, ophthalmic surgery, oral surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, gynecology, and obstetrics.
