DSI Silk Braided Sutures offer a unique solution for surgical needs, both non-absorbable and non-mutagenic. Crafted from natural silk fibers called fibroin, with a silicone coating that reduces capillarity and enhances surface lubrication. This specialized design ensures easy tissue passage and superior knot security.

DSI Silk Braided Sutures are derived entirely from the larvae of silkworms, these sutures undergo meticulous braiding and coating processes, resulting in exceptional suppleness and flexibility ideal for surgical procedures.

DSI Silk Braided Sutures are known for their excellent knot security, an essential property for maintaining the stability of wound closure. They are non-absorbable, which makes them perfect for wounds that require long-term support or in situations where prolonged wound healing is expected.
