DemeTECH Silk Sutures

DemeTECH Silk Sutures are produced using silk. Raw silk comes from a the cacoon of a sikworm's larva, then goes through standard processing procedures to remove the natural gums and waxes before braiding. The result is a tight and compact braid.

Features and Benefits

• DemeTech's Silk suture is dyed black for easier visibility in tissue.
• DemeTech's Silk suture is non-absorbable and multi-stranded in nature.
• Although DemeTech classifies its silk suture as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year, and is completely absorbed in 2 years. DemeTech's Silk behaves like a very slow absorbing suture.
•  DemeTech coats its Silk in silicon to limit absorption, increase ductility, and minimize tissue reactivity
