The Lotus Silkus #4-0 Black Braided Silk Sutures , (Pack of 12) are premium non-absorbable sutures designed for precise and reliable surgical applications. Coated with silicon, these sutures ensure smooth passage through tissue while enhancing ductility and minimizing trauma. The cutting needle design allows for easy penetration through denser tissues, making them ideal for procedures requiring precision and strength. Dyed black is used for better visibility during surgery, and they are packaged in Tyvek paper for added security. The #4-0 cutting size is commonly used for soft tissue closures in skin surgery, oral surgery, and other areas requiring strong support with moderate tension.
