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

Silk Black is a premium non-absorbable braided surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation where superior handling characteristics, dependable knot security and tactile feedback are required. Silk sutures remain widely used in clinical practice due to their predictable performance and ease of handling in delicate surgical applications.

This variant is supplied in USP 5/0 (EP 1) 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 of the needle, helping to reduce tissue cut-through while providing precise penetration and controlled wound edge approximation, particularly in finer or more fibrous soft tissues.

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

As a non-absorbable suture, Silk Black maintains tensile strength over time, making it suitable for procedures where prolonged wound support is required or where planned suture removal is indicated. Its consistent handling characteristics support reliable outcomes in both routine and specialised 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 delicate soft tissue procedures where a black braided silk reverse cutting needle suture is clinically indicated.
