Demetech 3-0 Silk sutures — non-absorbable braided silk suture with excellent knot security and handling, used for soft-tissue approximation where long-term support is required; typically supplied on sterile needles.
3-0 Resorbable Sutures
3-0 Resorbable sutures — absorbable synthetic or natural suture (e.g., polyglycolic/polylactic or catgut) providing temporary wound support that degrades over time, eliminating the need for removal; good for soft-tissue closure with moderate tensile strength.
4-0 Silk Sutures
4-0 Silk sutures — finer-gauge non-absorbable braided silk suture for delicate soft-tissue closures (e.g., oral mucosa, facial), offering good handling and knot security with less tissue trauma.
