Integra LifeSciences Sutures, Coated, Braided Silk, Non-Absorbable - Manual (Page 2)

Precautions
In handling this or any other suture material, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Avoid crushing
or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments such as forceps or needle holders.
As with any suture material, adequate knot security requires the accepted surgical technique of flat, square
ties, with additional throws as warranted by surgical circumstance and the experience of the surgeon. The use of
additional throws may be particularly appropriate when knotting monofilaments.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse effects associated with the use of this device include: wound dehiscence, gradual loss of all tensile
strength over time, allergic response in patients that are known to be sensitive to silk, calculi formation in urinary
and biliary tracts when prolonged contact with salt solutions such as urine and bile occurs, enhanced bacterial
infectivity, acute inflammatory tissue reaction, and pain, edema, and erythema at the wound site.
