Silk suture material "Olympus" is used in microsurgery, as well as in general practice and cardiovascular surgery, abdominal surgery, ophthalmology, neurosurgery, cosmetic and plastic surgery. Non-absorbable, gradual encapsulation by connective tissue. The weight of the thread decreases by about 10% per year due to the breaking of chemical bonds (hydrolysis). Tissue reaction is minimal.
The unique processing technology can significantly reduce the content of substances that cause a rejection reaction in body tissues. Thanks to the technology of weaving in two directions, the thread does not twist during operation. Has a smooth, uniform surface. Size according to American and European classifications, diameter, knot load at break: UPS metric size.
