This MERSILK® Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 1689H, is designed for dependable soft tissue approximation and ligation where controlled handling and strong knot security are essential. The suture is manufactured from black braided natural silk fibres with a coated finish to enhance smooth tissue passage while maintaining superior tying characteristics.

The USP 2-0 size offers strong tensile strength suitable for general surgical soft tissue closure and skin approximation. The extended 75 cm (30 inch) length provides additional working reach for deeper operative fields and enhanced procedural flexibility.

This product features a single FSLX reverse cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration of tougher tissues. The reverse cutting geometry supports controlled tissue entry and consistent wound closure performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is suitable for hospital and clinical environments requiring reliable silk suture performance.
