SUTURE Non-absorbable Sutures Multifilament KRUUSE Silk Description KRUUSE Silk Suture is a natural, non-absorbable, multifilament, sterile suture composed of an organic protein called fibroin. KRUUSE Silk Suture is available dyed black with Sulphol Black or Logwood Black. KRUUSE Silk Suture is coated with silicone. Indications KRUUSE Silk Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, where a non-absorbable material is indicated, including: ■ Ophthalmic surgery ■ Vascular and cardiovascular surgery ■ Neurosurgery ■ Dental surgery ■ Ligation Contraindications The use of this suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to silk. Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in vivo, silk sutures should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required.
