Frequently Asked Questions About DesmoSilk
What are the advantages of silk sutures?
Silk sutures like DesmoSilk offer superior handling, high knot security, and precise knot placement. The braided structure with a silicone-based coating provides a soft, flexible suture that is easy to tie and comfortable for patients.
Is DesmoSilk truly non-absorbable?
Silk is classified as non-absorbable, but its tensile strength is gradually reduced over time in tissue. It is considered non-absorbable because it is not completely broken down by the body and is removed in most external applications.
