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. |
