The CP Medical Braided Natural Silk Non-Absorbable Sutures with Taper Point Needles, 3/8 Circle are sterile surgical sutures for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.
Composed of fibroin derived from domesticated species of B. Mori, CP Medical Silk Sutures ensures smooth flow through tissue and excellent knot security. While not absorbed, proteinaceous silk fiber exhibits progressive degradation. Due to gradual loss of tensile strength, silk surgical sutures are contraindicated in situations where permanent retention of tensile strength is required. CP Medical Silk Sutures are equivalent to Ethicon® Permahand Silk™, Look® /Sharpoint® Silk and Covidien® Sofsilk™.
CP Medical Silk Sutures are available in black, in various sizes. Sizes 0 and 1 are used for closure of the fascia layer in abdominal surgery, or for knee, hip and back surgery; Size 2-0 is for closure of muscle layers or bowel repair; while 5-0 is for larger vessel repair. They also feature taper point needles, which have a blunt point and no cutting edge. This needle is designed for separating tissue fibres rather than for cutting. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
