This is not due to fact our present material satisfactory; quite reverse. Silk all other nonabsorbable frequently act as foreign bodies; whereas, catgut at best an uncertain quantity regards its sterility, calculable absorption time role tissue irritant. The essential reason for universal use silk that, with their disadvantages, they are superior known materials. ideal soft pliable silk, causes slightest possible reaction, possesses adequate tensile strength definitely time, varying, caliber suture, from few hours up weeks.
