Description

Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures. SOFSILK silk sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, non-mutagenic surgical sutures composed of natural proteinaceous silk fibers called fibroin. This protein is derived from the domesticated silkworm species Bombyx mori of the family bombycidae. The silk fibers are treated to remove the naturally-occurring sericin gum, bleached and braided to produce SOFSILK surgical silk sutures. The braided sutures are available coated uniformly with silicone or wax to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity to enhance handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue and knot run-down properties. The manufacturing process, from braiding to coating, gives the suture superior softness and compliance for maximum surgical hand. The proprietary coating process provides smooth flow through tissue while maintaining optimal knot security. SOFSILK sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery.

Frequently asked questions

Are Sofsilk sutures made from high-quality silk?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are crafted from natural proteinaceous silk fibers, specifically fibroin sourced from Bombyx mori silkworms. These high-quality silk fibers undergo a meticulous treatment process, including the removal of sericin gum, bleaching, and braiding, to create a soft, compliant, and strong material for surgical use.

Are Medtronic Sofsilk sutures absorbable?

No, Medtronic Sofsilk sutures are nonabsorbable. They provide reliable, long-term support for wound closure.

Are these sutures available in classic colors?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are available in two classic color options: Black and White. These colors are designed to meet diverse surgical preferences and visibility requirements during various procedures.

What demanding surgical procedures use these sutures?

The Medtronic SOFSILK sutures are versatile, nonabsorbable sutures indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation across various surgical specialties.They are specifically designed and widely used in critical, demanding fields, including: * Cardiovascular surgery * Ophthalmic surgery * Neurological surgery

Does the coating optimize suture handling?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Sutures are treated with a uniform coating (either silicone or wax) specifically to optimize handling, lubricity, and overall surgical performance.This proprietary treatment provides several critical benefits for surgeons and tissue management: * Enhanced Lubricity: Increases surface lubricity for smooth, easy passage through delicate tissue. * Optimal Knot Security: Ensures excellent knot run-down properties, which maintains high knot security and maximizes surgical hand control. * Reduced Capillarity: The coating minimizes the wicking effect, which is the tendency for fluids to be drawn along the suture material.

What are the standard packaging quantities?

The packaging for Medtronic Sofsilk Sutures is configuration-dependent (based on size, length, and needle type) and is denominated in dozens per box. You can determine the exact quantity by checking the specific configuration title.

Common packaging options include:

  • 1 dozen per box (1 dz/bx)
  • 3 dozen per box (3 dz/bx)
Are diverse sizes and formats available?

Yes, SOFSILK Silk Sutures are offered in a broad range of configurations to meet diverse surgical needs in general soft tissue approximation and ligation.KKey available options include:K* Sizes: A comprehensive range from 8-0 up to Size 5.K* Colors: Available in both Black and White.K* Formats: You can select Pre-Cut or Reel configurations, which are available with or without a needle. Specialized needle styles include Cutting, Tapercutting, Conventional Cutting, Premium Spatula, and Premium Reverse Cutting.K* Packaging: Sutures are typically packaged in boxes containing 1, 2, or 3 dozen (dz/bx).

What is the full range of available suture sizes?

The Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are available in a comprehensive range of nonabsorbable sizes to meet varied surgical requirements for soft tissue approximation and ligation.

Sizing for the Sofsilk sutures spans from the finest gauges up to the heaviest, covering configurations from Size 8-0 up to Size 5.

Are various surgical needle options offered?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are available in an extensive array of configurations designed to meet various surgical demands. You can choose specific needle types or select options that are needle-less (such as pre-cut or reel formats).

This broad selection ensures optimal performance for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including specialized applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Key configurations available include:

  • Needle Types: Options span Conventional Cutting, Premium Reverse Cutting, Premium Spatula, and Tapercutting styles. Specific codes available include P-10, P-11, P-12, P-13, P-14, P-24, GCC-90, SS-14, SS-24, SE-100-8, SE-140-8, and SC-2 (Straight).
  • Needle Curvatures: Curvature options include 1/4 Circle, 3/8 Circle, 1/2 Circle, and Straight.
Are SOFSILK sutures non-mutagenic?

Yes, Medtronic SOFSILK silk sutures are non-mutagenic. They are manufactured to be sterile and nonabsorbable, suitable for general soft tissue approximation and various critical procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
