Black Braided Silk Suture
Non-Absorbable surgical Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)
Silk suture is a non-absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of natural material silk which is obtained from silkworm. Black braided silk suture is coloured with FDA approved black dye for enhanced visibility. These sutures are coated with wax/silicon which facilitates the easy passage through the tissue. Silk sutures are braided with special technology to ensure tight braiding, better strength and performance. Our in-house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Black braided silk suture can be used as ligatures for removable fixtures and cardiovascular surgery (for suturing the grafts) also used in general surgery, ophthalmic surgery, Gastrointestinal surgery and orthopedic surgery. Unisil sutures have moderate tissue reaction. It is ideal for skin closure. Unisil is neither absorbed nor subjected to weakening by tissue enzymes.
Properties: Good knot security, excellent tensile strength and handling and do not exhibit elasticity while knotting which is ideal for skin closures, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma.
Can also be supplied in different needle length and suture size combination depending on the requirement.

Question: What is Black Braided Silk Suture made from?
Answer: Black Braided Silk Suture is made from natural silk fibres obtained from silkworms. The fibres are tightly braided and coated with wax or silicone to improve handling and help the suture pass smoothly through tissue.
Question: Where is Silk Suture commonly used?
Answer: Silk Suture is commonly used for ligation, skin closure and general surgical procedures. It may also be selected for gastrointestinal, ophthalmic, orthopaedic and certain cardiovascular applications, depending on clinical judgement.
Question: Is Silk Suture absorbable?
Answer: Silk is classified as a non-absorbable surgical suture. It is chosen when reliable handling and prolonged support are needed, although the surgeon should consider the tissue type and the expected healing period before selection.
Question: Why do surgeons value the handling of braided Silk Suture?
Answer: The braided construction makes the strand soft, flexible and easy to control. It provides strong knot security, while the coating reduces friction and supports smoother passage through tissue.
Question: What product options are available for Silk Suture?
Answer: Universal Sutures offers Silk Suture in black and undyed options, with USP sizes ranging from 10-0 to 3. It can be supplied in different lengths and with a range of round-bodied, cutting, taper-point, reverse-cutting, straight or spatula needles.
