LuxSutures SILK BRAIDED BLACK Veterinary Sutures are high-quality non-absorbable sutures manufactured by LuxSutures from natural silk fibres. The braided construction provides superior handling characteristics, flexibility and dependable knot security, making LuxSutures silk sutures a trusted choice in veterinary surgical practice.
Although silk is classified as non-absorbable, LuxSutures Silk Braided sutures undergo gradual loss of tensile strength over time due to proteolytic degradation. This predictable behaviour, combined with excellent handling, makes LuxSutures silk sutures suitable for procedures where long-term tensile strength is not critical but secure knot placement is essential.
The distinctive black colour of LuxSutures Silk Braided sutures offers excellent visibility against tissue, supporting accurate placement during veterinary surgical procedures. The braided structure enhances knot security, while controlled coating helps to reduce tissue drag during placement.
LuxSutures Silk Braided Black veterinary sutures are commonly used in general veterinary surgery, soft tissue approximation, ligation and procedures requiring reliable handling and knot performance. Available in multiple USP sizes and lengths, the LuxSutures silk range supports a wide variety of animal surgical applications.
Each LuxSutures Silk Braided Black suture is supplied sterile and individually packaged to ensure consistent professional veterinary performance and safety.
