This LuxSutures® LuxSilk Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code SI40DRT18, is engineered for precise soft tissue approximation and vessel ligation where delicate tensile control and reliable knot performance are required. Manufactured from premium braided silk, LuxSilk delivers excellent handling characteristics, superior pliability and consistent knot stability across dental and general surgical procedures.

The USP 4/0 size provides refined non-absorbable tensile support suitable for periodontal procedures, delicate oral surgery and fine soft tissue closure requiring high precision and dependable wound reinforcement. The 75 cm black strand length enables efficient suturing and controlled knot placement within professional clinical environments.

SI40DRT18 is fitted with a DRT 18 mm 3/8 circle needle, designed for smooth tissue penetration and precise handling in highly confined or delicate operative fields. The 3/8 circle curvature supports controlled needle rotation and accurate soft tissue approximation, while the braided multifilament construction enhances tactile feedback and dependable knot security throughout placement.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional dental and surgical use requiring consistent non-absorbable performance.
