This MERSILK® Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model W1814, is designed for dependable soft tissue approximation and ligation where controlled handling and strong knot security are essential. The suture is manufactured from black braided natural silk fibres with a coated finish to enhance smooth tissue passage while maintaining superior tying characteristics.
The USP 7-0 (Metric 0.5) size offers ultra-fine tensile strength suitable for delicate soft tissue closure and precise skin approximation. The 30 cm (12 inch) length provides optimal control for minor procedures and confined operative fields.
This product features a single TG140-8 taper point needle, engineered for smooth penetration through soft tissue without cutting. The taper point geometry supports controlled tissue entry and consistent wound closure performance in delicate surgical applications.
Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is suitable for hospital and clinical environments requiring reliable silk suture performance.
