Q-Close Silk
NON-ABSORBABLE SURGICAL SUTURE BLACK BRAIDED SILK

Material composition |
Silk (composed of an organic protein called fibroin, which is derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori of the family Bombycidae). |
Structure |
Multifilament, braided |
Suture type |
Natural, Non-absorbable |
Coating |
Bees Wax |
Colour |
Black |
Gauge sizes available |
U.S.P. 5/0 to 1 (Metric 1.0 to 4.0) |
Tensile strength retention |
Prolonged tensile strength retention. |
Mass absorption |
While Q-close™ Silk is not absorbed, progressive degradation of the proteinous silk fibres in vivo may result in gradual loss of the tensile strength over a period of time. |
Sterilisation method |
Ethylene oxide |
Indications |
Q-close™ Silk is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and or ligation. |
