The braided suture is stiffened by inserting a twisted stem from the same material. The Silk is coated with silicone to achieve water resistance and avoid its high capillary effect. Silk is characterised by its constant thread diameter and high tensile strength. The advantages of Silk sutures are their extreme pliability, ease of handling and excellent knot strength. 25 Indication: Skin Closure, Fascia, Gastrointestinal tract (e.g. small intestine), Ligation, Hernias, Muscular layer and Tendons.
