Silk Black is a non-absorbable braided surgical suture with a reverse cutting needle, providing excellent handling, secure knot tying and reliable tissue approximation in soft tissue procedures.

Silk Black is a high-quality non-absorbable braided surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation where superior handling, knot security and tactile feedback are required. Silk sutures remain widely used due to their predictable performance, pliability and ease of handling across a broad range of surgical applications.

This variant is supplied in USP 3/0 (EP 2) with a 75 cm suture length and a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle measuring 16 mm. The reverse cutting needle positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature, helping to reduce the risk of tissue cut-through while allowing precise penetration and controlled wound edge approximation, particularly in firmer or fibrous soft tissues.

The black braided silk construction delivers excellent flexibility and handling control, enabling smooth passage through tissue and secure, consistent knot tying. The braided structure enhances knot-holding strength, while the black colour improves visibility within the surgical field for accurate placement and control.

As a non-absorbable suture, Silk Black maintains tensile strength over time, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged wound support or where planned suture removal is indicated. Its reliable handling characteristics support consistent outcomes in both routine and more demanding soft tissue closures.

Individually sterile packed and clearly labelled, Silk Black sutures ensure traceability, regulatory compliance and safe use in hospitals, clinics and surgical centres. They are suitable for general surgery and soft tissue procedures where a black braided silk reverse cutting needle suture is clinically indicated.
