Meril Filasilk #6-0 Black Braided Silk Suture

Meril Filasilk #6-0 Black Braided Silk Suture, also known as FILASILK™, is a non-absorbable, braided, and coated suture made from natural silk filaments. This suture is renowned for its excellent handling characteristics, which make it easy to use and ensure precise wound closure. The silk filaments are tightly braided to enhance the strength and flexibility of the suture, providing reliable and secure wound approximation. FILASILK™ is coated to reduce capillarity and improve smoothness during passage through tissue, minimizing tissue drag and trauma. Its black color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in accurate placement. Due to its non-absorbable nature, FILASILK™ is ideal for long-term tissue approximation and support, making it suitable for a wide range of surgical applications, including general surgery, cardiovascular surgery, and ophthalmic procedures. Meril Filasilk #6-0 suture combines the benefits of natural silk with advanced manufacturing techniques to deliver a high-performance suture that meets the demands of modern surgical practices, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

• Preparation: Ensure the surgical area is clean and dry. Prepare all necessary surgical instruments and the Meril Mitsu Filasilk suture. Verify that the suture packaging is intact and the product is within its expiration date.
• Opening the Package: Open the sterile package carefully to avoid contamination. Do not use the suture if the package is damaged or if sterility is compromised.
• Handling the Suture: Use aseptic techniques to handle the suture and needle. Avoid excessive handling to maintain the integrity and sterility of the suture.
• Suturing: Use the appropriate needle for the tissue type and surgical procedure. Pass the needle through the tissue with minimal force to reduce trauma. Tie knots securely to ensure proper tissue approximation and wound closure.
• Knot Placement: Place knots with enough tension to approximate the tissue edges without causing ischemia. Ensure that knots are tight enough to secure the tissue but not so tight as to cause necrosis or tearing.
• Cutting the Suture: Cut the suture ends to the desired length, leaving enough length for the knots to remain secure. Use sharp, sterile scissors to avoid fraying or damaging the suture material.
• Aftercare: Monitor the wound site for signs of infection or dehiscence. Provide appropriate post-operative care instructions to the patient, including keeping the area clean and dry.
• Storage: Store any unused sutures in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and moisture. Do not re-sterilize any unused sutures.

• Warranty is not applicable for this product.
