Actions

The DemeTECH Silk Nonabsorbable Suture elicits an acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.

While DemeTECH Silk Nonabsorbable Suture is not absorbed, progressive degradation of the proteinaceous silk fiber in vivo may result in gradual loss of all of the suture’s tensile strength within one year.

The DemeTECH Silk Nonabsorbable Suture is available in  various sizes. The suture is supplied sterile in pre-cut lengths both with and without affixed needles of various straight and curved needle types and supplied in cartons of one dozen.

  • Raw silk is produced by a silkworm larva's cocoon. These natural waxes and gums are removed prior to the braiding process, allowing fora tighter,  more compact braid.
  • DemeTech's Silk suture is dyed black for easier visibility in tissue.
  • DemeTech's Silk suture is non-absorbable and multifilament in nature.
  • Although DemeTech classifies its silk suture as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year
