Ethicon Mersilk Suture – USP 3-0

Ethicon Mersilk USP 3-0 is a non-absorbable, braided suture made from natural silk fibers, offering excellent handling and knot-tying characteristics. It is coated with a special wax mixture to improve smooth passage through tissue and minimize fraying. Though non-absorbable, it gradually loses tensile strength over time and is typically used in general soft tissue approximation where permanent support is not required. Mersilk is ideal for applications requiring precise handling and secure knots.

Key Features:

• Braided natural silk for superior handling and knot security.

• Wax-coated to reduce friction and improve tissue passage.

• Non-absorbable suture with gradual loss of tensile strength.

• Excellent pliability for easy and accurate placement.

• Ideal for soft tissue approximation in general surgical procedures.
