The Ethicon Silk Suture is a non-absorbable suture made from natural protein fiber of raw silk, featuring a braided construction for enhanced durability. It is coated with beeswax to improve handling and knot security.  Designed for medium to long-term wound support, it provides indefinite tensile strength retention in tissue due to its non-absorbable nature. It is commonly used across a variety of surgical procedures, including general surgery, ophthalmology, and plastic surgery, for ligating and suturing most body tissues.
