This MERSILK® Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model E4103S, 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 (Metric 3) size offers strong tensile strength suitable for general surgical soft tissue closure and ligature applications. The shorter 20 cm (8 inch) length provides enhanced control for confined operative fields and minor procedures.

This product features a single SKI-22 cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration of tougher tissues. The cutting edge geometry supports controlled tissue entry and consistent wound closure performance.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this suture is suitable for hospital and clinical environments requiring reliable silk suture performance.
