What is a 4-0 Silk Suture?

A 4-0 Silk Suture is a kind of braided suture made from natural silk filaments and does not dissolve in the body over time. It is highly secure, provides strong tension, and is comfortable to use, making it reliable for joining or tying soft tissue. When performing precise procedures around the mouth, face, or suture size for fingers, the 4-0 size is very effective.

Medicos 4-0 Silk Sutures are developed for steady and dependable results in general surgery, dental work, plastic surgeries, and ophthalmology. Our silk sutures last longer than absorbable sutures such as plain gut or chromic gut, where chromic gut absorption time varies from 3 to 4 weeks.They are an ideal alternative when fast absorbing gut suture or absorbables like Vicryl are not appropriate, ensuring stability without the variability of plain gut suture absorption time or monocryl absorption time. Medico Sutures always provides reliable results in all medical settings.

Reduced Tissue Reactivity: Due to special treatment, Medicos Silk Sutures 4-0 are less likely to cause harm in sensitive parts of the body.
Precise in Fragile Places: Because they are fine, 4-0 sutures are especially useful for suturing fingers, the mucosa, or the edges of delicate skin.
