iSuture iSilk – Black Braided Silk
iSilk is a nonabsorbable braided silk suture designed to provide dependable handling characteristics during appropriate surgical procedures.
The black color provides clear visual contrast against tissue, while the braided construction offers flexibility and controlled handling during suturing and knot formation.
Nonabsorbable Surgical Material
As a nonabsorbable suture, iSilk is intended to provide long-term mechanical support rather than being rapidly broken down and absorbed by the body.
It can therefore be considered for surgical applications where continued suture support is clinically required.
Clinical selection should always be based on the procedure, tissue characteristics, patient requirements, and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Braided Silk Construction

The braided silk structure provides a flexible and manageable suture that can be handled effectively during surgical closure.
Its construction is intended to support:
- Controlled handling
- Good flexibility
- Secure knot formation
- Consistent suture manipulation
- Reliable tissue approximation
Black Suture for Clear Visibility
The black color provides strong visual contrast against tissue, which can make the suture easier to identify and manipulate during appropriate surgical procedures.
This characteristic can be particularly useful when clear visualization of the suture is desirable.
26 mm Reverse-Cutting Needle
The supplied 26 mm, 3/8-circle reverse-cutting needle is designed for controlled penetration through suitable tissue.
The curved needle configuration provides maneuverability, while the reverse-cutting profile is intended for appropriate tissue penetration and controlled placement of the suture.
75 cm Suture Length
The 75 cm suture length provides a practical working length for appropriate surgical closure procedures, allowing sufficient material for tissue approximation and knot formation.
Sterile Individual Packaging
Each suture is supplied in individual sterile foil/sachet packaging to help protect the product and maintain sterility until use.
The packaging provides important identification information, including:
USP 3-0, Metric 2, Black, 75 cm, 26 mm, 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting, IS3C26, and Sterile EO.

Typical Applications
iSuture iSilk may be suitable for:
- Soft-Tissue Approximation
- Surgical Wound Closure
- Tissue Closure
- General Surgical Procedures
- Skin Suturing Where Clinically Appropriate
- Procedures Requiring Nonabsorbable Suture Material
The specific application should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the surgical procedure and manufacturer’s approved indications.
