Frequently asked questions

Do these silk sutures offer permanent, non-absorbable support?

Yes, the Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures are non-absorbable, providing reliable, permanent support for soft tissue approximation and ligation.

They are specifically designed to offer superior performance and handling:

  • Material & Durability: Constructed from natural degummed silk, these sutures are non-absorbable, ensuring permanent tissue retention unless manually removed. They offer superior knot strength and optimal handling.
  • Visibility: The braided material is dyed black to provide maximum visual contrast against bodily tissues, aiding precision during surgical procedures.
  • Complete System: Each sterile pack includes an 18-inch suture thread pre-attached to a surgical needle.
  • Needle Specifications: The attached needle is 19 mm in length, features a 3/8 circle curvature, and utilizes a Reverse Cut point for smooth tissue penetration.
Are these high-quality natural silk sutures?

Yes, these Dynarex sutures are made from high-quality natural silk that has been degummed. This process ensures optimal handling characteristics and maintains superior knot strength, making them ideal for soft tissue approximation and retention.

Key features that highlight their performance include:

  • Non-Absorbable: The natural silk provides permanent or long-term support, suitable for procedures requiring non-resorbable material.
  • High Visibility: The sutures are braided and dyed black to ensure high contrast against most biological tissues, aiding precise placement.
  • Precision Needle: Each 18-inch suture is pre-attached to a 19 mm, 3/8 circle, reverse cut needle, designed for effective tissue penetration and closure. They are supplied sterile, 12 packs per box.
Is the black color optimized for high visibility?

Yes, the braided silk is specifically dyed black to ensure high visibility, which is crucial during soft tissue closures and surgical procedures. This feature offers several advantages:

  • High Contrast: The black color provides excellent visual contrast against biological tissues, making the 18-inch suture thread easy to track and monitor.
  • Aids Precision: Enhanced visibility helps clinicians achieve precise knot placement and accurate tissue approximation.

Furthermore, the sutures are made from degummed natural silk, providing the superior knot strength and smooth handling characteristics required for reliable, non-absorbable support.

Do these sutures offer an 18-inch thread length?

Yes, each unit of the Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures features a standard thread length of 18 inches (approximately 45.72 cm). This generous length ensures you have sufficient material for secure and precise soft tissue closures.

What are the specifications of the attached surgical needle?

The Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures come complete with a high-quality surgical needle attached, designed for optimal tissue penetration and closure. The precise specifications are:

  • Needle Type: Reverse Cut
  • Needle Curvature: 3/8 circle
  • Needle Length: 19 mm

This needle is paired with an 18-inch length of black, braided, non-absorbable silk, known for its superior knot strength and handling characteristics.

What is the quantity of sterile packs per box?

The Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures are supplied in boxes containing 12 individual sterile packs.

Each sterile pack provides a complete unit ready for immediate use, which includes:

  • One 18-inch length of non-absorbable, black braided silk suture.
  • One pre-attached surgical needle (19 mm in length) with a Reverse Cut geometry and 3/8 circle curvature.
Are these sutures ideal for soft tissue closure?

Yes, these Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures are highly suitable for the approximation and ligation of soft tissues. They are classified as non-absorbable, meaning they provide reliable, long-term or permanent tissue support required in many surgical applications.

Key features that make them ideal for soft tissue closure include:

  • Optimal Handling and Security: The braided structure, made from degummed natural silk, ensures superior knot strength and excellent handling characteristics.
  • Non-Absorbable Material: They provide permanent tissue approximation as the natural silk material is retained by the body unless manually removed.
  • High Visibility: The thread is dyed black to maximize visual contrast against biological tissues, aiding in precise placement.
  • Complete System: Each sterile pack includes the 18-inch braided silk suture pre-attached to a 19 mm, 3/8 circle Reverse Cut surgical needle, ready for immediate use.
Do these sutures offer optimal handling and knot strength?

Yes, the Dynarex Braided Silk Sutures are specifically engineered for optimal performance, offering superior knot strength and excellent handling properties.

This combination makes them ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation due to several key features:

  • Braided Structure: This design significantly enhances handling ease and ensures optimal knot security, which is critical for reliable closure.
  • Natural Silk: The material is constructed from degummed natural silk, providing a clean, high-quality material for surgical use.
  • Non-Absorbable: Classified as non-absorbable, these sutures provide permanent support to the tissue unless manually removed.
  • High Visibility: The suture thread is dyed black to maximize contrast against biological tissues, aiding visibility during procedures.
