Braided silk sutures

Braided silk sutures are a type of surgical suture made from natural silk fibers. They are known for their strength, flexibility, and ease of handling, making them suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures. The braided construction provides additional strength and prevents the suture from slipping. Braided silk sutures are often used in general surgery, ophthalmic surgery, and plastic surgery, where a strong, yet pliable suture is required. These sutures are typically absorbed by the body over time, but the absorption process is slow compared to synthetic absorbable sutures.
