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

What high-quality material are Sofsilk sutures made from?

Medtronic Sofsilk Sutures are crafted from natural proteinaceous silk fibers (fibroin), sourced from the domesticated Bombyx mori silkworm species. These fibers undergo a specific treatment process, including sericin gum removal and bleaching, before being braided to form the suture.

Do these sutures provide long-term support?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Taper Point Sutures are nonabsorbable, meaning they provide long-term tensile strength for sustained tissue support. They are made from natural silk fibers that are treated and braided, then coated with silicone or wax for enhanced lubricity and smooth tissue passage.

What critical surgical applications are these ideal for?

Medtronic Sofsilk sutures are high-quality, nonabsorbable braided silk sutures designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. Their construction includes a proprietary silicone or wax coating that enhances surface lubricity and ensures optimal knot run-down and security, making them reliable for delicate and critical procedures.

These sutures are specifically indicated for use in the following specialized surgical fields:

  • Cardiovascular surgery
  • Ophthalmic surgery
  • Neurological surgery

The natural proteinaceous silk material (fibroin) provides superior softness and compliance for maximum surgical handling.

What USP sizes are available?

Medtronic Sofsilk Sutures are offered in a comprehensive range of USP sizes, ensuring suitability for various surgical procedures, from delicate closures to general tissue approximation and ligation. This versatility supports their use in general soft tissue approximation, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

The available USP sizes are:

  • 7-0
  • 6-0
  • 5-0
  • 4-0
  • 3-0
  • 2-0
  • 0
  • 1
  • 2
Are these Sofsilk sutures available in different colors?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are generally available in black and white. These color options allow surgeons to select the best visibility contrast depending on the specific tissue and surgical environment. Note that the white color is typically restricted to specific size and length configurations.

How does the special coating improve suture performance?

The Medtronic Sofsilk sutures feature a proprietary uniform coating of either silicone or wax. This treatment significantly enhances handling and surgical performance by delivering several key benefits:

  • Enhanced Lubricity and Handling: The coating increases surface lubricity, ensuring superior softness, compliance, and optimal handling characteristics for the surgeon.
  • Smooth Tissue Passage: It facilitates greater ease of passage through tissue.
  • Superior Knot Security: The coating optimizes knot run-down properties while maintaining reliable knot security.
  • Reduced Capillarity: It effectively reduces capillarity (wicking), which prevents unwanted fluid uptake along the braided silk fibers.
What effective needle curvatures are available?

The Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are available in configurations featuring the most common and effective surgical needle curvatures, designed to provide maximum control and ease of use during soft tissue approximation and ligation:

  • ½ Circle
  • 3/8 Circle

These precise curvatures, combined with the suture’s proprietary coating, facilitate smooth tissue passage and reliable knot security in delicate procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Do these sutures meet high sterility standards?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are supplied as sterile surgical sutures and are Factory New. This ensures the necessary high standard for safety when used for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in demanding fields like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Are versatile needle curvatures offered?

Yes, Medtronic Sofsilk Sutures are offered with multiple versatile needle curvatures to accommodate different surgical requirements.

The available needle curvatures include:

  • 3/8 Circle (e.g., CV-15 needle code)
  • 1/2 Circle (e.g., CV-24, GS-23, HGS-22 needle codes)

All variants feature a Taper Point needle geometry, which is designed for smooth, atraumatic passage through soft tissue during approximation and ligation.

What are the available suture lengths?

Medtronic Sofsilk Silk Sutures are offered in several standard lengths to accommodate various surgical procedures, ensuring you have the right fit for the application.

The primary available standard lengths are:

  • 18 inches
  • 24 inches
  • 30 inches
  • 36 inches

Some specialized configurations or bulk packaging options may also include lengths such as 5x18”, 5x24”, or 5x30”.
