Sofsilk™ Coated Braided Silk Sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.

Sofsilk™ 6/0 and 7/0 black braided 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 and braided to produce Sofsilk™ surgical silk sutures. The braided sutures are coated uniformly with silicone to reduce capillarity and to increase surface lubricity, which enhances handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties. Sofsilk™ sutures are colored black with Logwood extract (21CFR73.1410). Sofsilk™ sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP) for nonabsorbable surgical sutures, Sofsilk™ Coated Braided Silk Suture. Sofsilk™ sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
