Description:
Meril Filasilk 1‑0 is a non‑absorbable braided silk suture, crafted from natural silk filaments (Bombyx mori), and coated (e.g., beeswax or silicone) to reduce tissue drag and enhance handling. Dyed black for visual contrast, Filasilk delivers reliable wound support in ophthalmic, oral, general soft tissue, skin, and ligature applications. While silk gradually loses tensile strength over 6–12 months and may be completely absorbed over approximately two years via proteolysis, it remains a favored option for its tactile control and knot security.
Key Features:
-
Natural Silk Filament Construction – Provides pliability and softness for atraumatic handling.
-
Braided & Coated Design – Coating reduces capillary action and tissue drag for improved passage.
-
Excellent Knot Security – Stable and reliable knots, even in fine‐tissue applications.
-
Visible Black Dye – Enhances visual contrast in surgical fields.
-
Gradual Tensile Strength Loss – Maintains support for months; may take up to two years to fully degrade in vivo.
