Silk Suture is a sterile non-absorbable, braided suture composed of natural silk organic protein called fibroin. This protein is derived from the Bompyx mori species of silkworm, from the Bombycidaeb family. The yarns are processered in order to remove the naturally enclosed sericin gum and waxes and then spun, braided and coated in silicone to provide a smooth surface and greater tensile streng.Haidike Medical Silk Sutures are available from sizes: USP6/0-USP2.

Advantages

Excellent handling properties

High tensile strength

Highly smooth and flexible

Polyester is a sterile non-absorbable, braided, synthetic suture composed of Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester). Polyester Sutures are dyed green / blue and coated with Silicon which grants extraordinary smoothness, softness and non-thrombogenic features to the suture.

Polyester non-absorbable Sutures are available from sizes: USP6/0 - USP3

Characteristics

High tensile strength

Excellent handling properties

Minima tissue reaction

Easy and secure knotting

Nylon suture is a monofilament surgical suture synthesized by polyamide 6 and / or polyamide 6.6, which is a non absorbable suture. The color of nylon suture is blue or black.  Sterilization by ethylene oxide gas. The size is usp6 / 0-usp2. Nylon suture meets all requirements of the USP for nonabsorbable surgical sutures.

Nylon suture has high strength, good compatibility and low tissue reaction. Because it is a single strands of sutures, so it is not easy to be bacteria, causing infection. No capillarity occurs at the same time.

Polypropylene suture is a sterile non-absorbable, monofilament, synthetic surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene a synthetic linear polyolefin and polyethylene. Polypropylene non-absorbable sutures are available from USP sizes: USP5/0-USP 2,,and are dyed blue to enhance visibility in tissue.

Characteristics

High tensile strength

Good handling properties

Minimal tissue reaction

Easy and secure knotting
