Why choose Ethicon Mersilk 4-0 K952H suture for ophthalmic surgery?
The Mersilk K952H suture is equipped with a V-5 spatulated needle specifically designed for ophthalmic procedures. Its braided silk structure offers excellent maneuverability and optimal knot retention, essential for the precise gestures required in ocular surgery.
What is the difference between an absorbable suture and non-absorbable Mersilk?
Unlike absorbable sutures that naturally degrade in tissues, Mersilk 4-0 is a permanent silk suture that remains in place indefinitely or requires manual removal. It is preferred when durable tissue retention is required or for skin sutures intended to be removed.
How is Ethicon Mersilk reference K952H suture packaged?
The Ethicon Mersilk 4-0 75cm suture with V-5 needle reference K952H is packaged in a box of 12 sterile units. Each suture is individually wrapped to guarantee sterility until use. This product is available on order within 15 business days.
