Additional Details
DemeTECH DemeSILK Surgical Suture
DemeTech's Silk suture is a non-absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of an organic protein called fibroin. DemeTech's silk sutures are processed to remove the natural waxes and gums from its origin.
As Silk is a natural fiber, it does illicit an acute inflammatory reaction, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue (occurring usually in 14-21 days). While DemeTech's silk sutures are not considered absorbable sutures, progressive degradation of its fibers results in the gradual loss of tensile strength within the first year.
- Raw silk is produced by a silkworm larva's cocoon. These natural waxes and gums are removed prior to the braiding process, allowing for a tighter, more compact braid
- DemeTech's Silk suture is dyed black for easier visibility in tissue
- DemeTech's Silk suture is non-absorbable and multifilament in nature
- Although DemeTech classifies its silk suture as a non-absorbable suture, it loses most of its tensile strength in one year
AccessGUDID Info
- FDA Product Code: GAP
- FDA Product Code Name: Suture, Nonabsorbable, Silk
- GMDN Term Code: 13910
- GMDN Term Name: Silk suture
- GMDN Term Description: A natural, non-bioabsorbable thread made from raw silk spun by silkworms (typically coated with beeswax or silicone) intended to join (i.e., approximate) the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching or to ligate soft tissues; it may include an attached disposable device(s) [e.g., needle, passer] intended to facilitate suture application. It provides temporary wound support until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress. Although classified as a "non-bioabsorbable" material, it may be digested by proteolysis after an extended period of time. This is a single-use device.
