Silk Suture Thread

Pearsalls Limited Braided Silk Wax is a braided silk thread supplied on a convenient spool for controlled dispensing during suturing and ligature-related applications.

The braided construction provides a flexible, manageable thread with the characteristic handling properties of silk. The waxed finish can facilitate handling and may help reduce fraying of the braided thread during use.

The product shown is supplied as a 90-metre (100-yard) spool and is identified on the manufacturer’s label as EP 3 / USP 1.

The spool is marked Pearsalls Limited, with product code 10B30S150 and batch number 67913.

🧵 Material & Construction

Braided Silk

The thread is constructed from braided silk fibers rather than being a monofilament. The braided structure provides a flexible thread with a characteristic tactile handling profile.

Waxed Finish

The product is specifically identified on the label as “Braided Silk Wax.” The waxed finish is part of the product specification shown on the spool.

🎯 Potential Applications

The exact intended application is not specified on the visible label, so I would not market it as a specific surgical indication without manufacturer documentation.

It may be relevant for applications involving:

• Surgical suturing
• Ligature applications
• Suturing skills training
• Medical and surgical education
• Demonstration and practice of braided suture handling

Important: Whether this particular spool is intended for clinical patient use, training only, or another specialized application should be confirmed from the manufacturer’s original product documentation.

⚠️ Important Medical & Product Note

There is an important issue with this particular stock:

The label states “Use Before Sep 2026.”

Since the current date is September 19, 2026, this product is at the stated expiry month. Therefore, I would not list or market this specific stock as clinically usable without verifying the exact manufacturer’s expiry convention and applicable regulatory requirements.

Also, the visible label does not state that the spool is sterile. Therefore, it should not be described on NileMedix as a “sterile surgical suture” based on these photographs alone.

For an e-commerce listing, I would separate this exact batch from any fresh stock and verify its regulatory/clinical status before sale.
