Aqmen - A212 - Sutures A212 AqSilk Mersilk Type USP 3-0-12 Foils

This product is a sterile, non-absorbable surgical suture material composed of natural silk. Specifically, it is designated as Mersilk Type, which indicates its construction and handling characteristics derived from silk. The suture is presented in a black coloration, which can aid in visualization during surgical procedures.

Each unit contains two strands of suture, each measuring 75 centimeters in length, for a total of 150 centimeters of suture material per foil. The suture is supplied without an attached needle, allowing for flexibility in needle selection based on specific surgical requirements. The USP size of this suture is 3-0, a standard classification indicating its diameter and tensile strength.

The material is non-absorbable, meaning it will remain in the tissue indefinitely and is intended for permanent wound support. The packaging contains 12 individual foil-wrapped units, ensuring sterility until the point of use. The black silk material is braided to provide a smooth passage through tissue and reliable knot security.

Its non-absorbable nature makes it suitable for applications where long-term tissue approximation and support are necessary, and where the suture material is not intended to be broken down by the body over time. The tensile strength is maintained over extended periods, contributing to its role in permanent wound closure.
