VET-SILK 2-0, 3/8 19 mm Reverse Cutting 75 cm VET-SILK 2-0 is a veterinary surgical suture made from natural silk, designed to reliably approximate soft tissues in animals. This product features a non-absorbable black braided silk suture, 75 cm in length, equipped with a 3/8 reverse cutting needle and a 19 mm pin.
