Silk sutures for skin are coated with silicone providing strength and smoothing the surface. They can pass through tissues easily. Its also commonly used for other purposes.
The thread silk suture is made of multi-strand silk and comes in two types: sterilized and non-sterile. It has a smooth surface, evenness, constant color, and no stains due to the coating. They pass through tissues easily.
Sterile silk sutures provide optimal knot security while retaining smooth tissue flow. It’s useful for various procedures including ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological operations. Provides high tensile strength.
Silk is a natural suture material.
However, it is not usually used in its purest form.
A silk suture is made by improving the tensile strength of the material, making it a natural non-absorbable suture.
Note that unlike collagen and other similar materials, silk has a long history in the medical industry, used for ligating wounds.
Silk sutures re non-absorbable. This means they have to be removed over time to prevent them from growing over new and healthy skin. Depending on the wound, these sutures should be removed after one to two weeks of implantation.
Silk sutures are known for their tensile strength and durability. They are also less likely to cause an allergic reaction in the patient, making them unreactive. However, despite being no-absorbable, these sutures are made from natural materials and are likely to degrade after two years.
Silk sutures are durable and can be used for wounds that need slow healing, especially in orthopedic cases. Their non-absorbable characteristic increases their duration strength, retaining approximately 20% of their strength after six months.
A silk suture can only stay in for a maximum of six months before they are removed. However, some circumstances may require for the suture to stay in longer than recommended.
Silk sutures are arguably the most common sutures used by surgeon. They are preferred for their durability, ease of handle, and low risk of reactivity. These sutures are recommended for ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and neurological procedures.
