LuxSutures Silk Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures are natural multifilament sutures designed for secure soft tissue approximation and ligation where excellent handling and knot security are required.
Manufactured from refined natural silk fibres, these braided sutures provide outstanding pliability, predictable handling and reliable knot tying characteristics. LuxSutures silk sutures are non-absorbable, offering temporary wound support before becoming gradually encapsulated by connective tissue.
Silk braided sutures are widely used across surgical and clinical disciplines where ease of handling, tactile feedback and short- to medium-term wound support are preferred.
Suture Material Overview
Silk (Natural Fibre, Braided Multifilament)
A traditional non-absorbable suture material known for its softness, flexibility and excellent knot security. The braided structure enhances handling and control during suturing and ligation.
