ALCASILK®

SILK Non-Absorbable Sutures 

ALCASILK sutures are non-absorbable sterile surgical sutures which are produced of an organic protein called fibroin. This organic protein is derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori of the family Bombyciade. ALCASILK sutures are processed to remove the natural oil and viscous. ALCASILK sutures are dyed black and coated wax (KAHLWAX 1540).

ALCASILK sutures meet all requirements for non-absorbable surgical sutures specified at the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).

ALCASILK sutures have been presented in USP 6/0 – USP 2 gauge sizes in a variety of lengths from 10 cm to 150 cm, as non-needled or attached to stainless steel needles of varying types and sizes.

ALCASILK sutures are available as sterile, multifilament, black strands in sizes USP 6/0 through USP 2 (metric sizes 0,7-5), in a variety of lengths, with or without various needles.

Products are presented in suture boxes with 12 pieces, 24 pieces or 36 pieces.
