Silk

Construction

Braided

Silicon

Although Silk is classified as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year

Ethylene Oxide

6-0, 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, 1

• Coated with silicon to allow easy passage through tissue

• Elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues.

RASILK®  suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, and used in a wide variety of surgical procedures.

RASILK®  is contraindicated in patients whith known allergies and sensitivities to Silk.  It should also not be used where permanant retention of tensile strenght is required as in fixation of intraocular lenses or synthetic vascular grafts, due to gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in vivo.
