Description<\/strong><\/p>\n Meril Filasilk Suture<\/strong> is a non-absorbable, braided silk surgical suture designed for superior handling, secure knotting, and optimal tissue compatibility. Composed of natural protein fibers derived from the Bombyx mori<\/em> silkworm, Filasilk undergoes a proprietary degumming and coating process that enhances pliability and reduces capillarity. It is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and\/or ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, where prolonged tensile strength is desirable.<\/p>\n Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Material:<\/strong> Natural silk, processed to reduce inflammatory response<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Structure:<\/strong> Braided multifilament for superior handling<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Coating:<\/strong> Special wax or silicone coating to minimize capillarity and increase smoothness<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tensile Strength:<\/strong> High initial tensile strength; gradually lost over time (not absorbed)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Tissue Reaction:<\/strong> Moderate tissue response due to natural origin<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Color:<\/strong> Black (dyed with logwood extract); also available undyed (white)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Sterilization:<\/strong> Ethylene oxide<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Packaging:<\/strong> Sterile, individually packed, ready-to-use<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Description Meril Filasilk Suture is a non-absorbable, braided silk surgical suture designed for superior handling, secure knotting, and optimal tissue compatibility.
