Description
Suture, Silk Black 2-0 18 PS2 is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture made from natural silk protein. Harvested from the domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, this suture is processed to remove natural waxes and gums, ensuring a smooth and consistent thread. The silk fibers are braided to enhance tensile strength and knot security, essential for reliable surgical performance.
The black coloration of this silk suture improves visibility during procedures, allowing for precise placement and knotting. The 2-0 size and 18-inch length, paired with the PS2 needle, provide versatility for various surgical applications. The PS2 needle, known for its precision and sharpness, facilitates easy penetration and minimizes tissue trauma, making it suitable for delicate procedures.
This silk suture is particularly well-suited for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its natural pliability and smooth passage through tissue make it ideal for procedures requiring gentle handling, such as in ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological surgeries. In cardiovascular surgeries, the suture's strength and flexibility are crucial for maintaining tissue integrity under dynamic conditions. In ophthalmic and neurological surgeries, its minimal tissue reaction is advantageous for delicate tissues.
