GPCSIL silk suture is a non absorbable, sterile, surgical suture
composed of an organic protein called fibroin. This protein is derived
from the domesticated species Bombyx mori (B. More) of the family
Bombycidae. GPCSIL sutures are processed to remove the natural waxes and
gums. GPCSIL suture is dyed black and coated with a special wax
mixture. GPCSIL suture is also available in its natural color. GPCSIL Virgin silk suture is available in which the sericin gum is not removed
and serves to hold the filaments together.
Intended Use
GPCSIL
suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or
ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological
procedures.
