Silk (silk braided) sutures are traditional non-absorbable surgical sutures valued for their superior handling characteristics, softness and dependable knot security. Manufactured from natural silk fibres and braided for flexibility, silk sutures offer excellent control and ease of use during surgical procedures requiring precise tissue approximation.
The braided structure provides strong knot holding while allowing smooth manipulation, making silk sutures particularly suitable for general surgery, ligation and soft tissue approximation. Although classified as non-absorbable, silk sutures gradually lose tensile strength over time and are typically used where long-term permanent support is not required. Trusted for consistency and handling, silk braided sutures remain a widely used option in professional surgical environments.
