SYLKE® Adhesive Skin Closure
SYLKE® is a 99.9% silk fibroin woven mesh with a gentle pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive designed for biocompatible skin closure. SYLKE® provides a breathable, sterile barrier that supports natural healing. It is a sterile, single-use silk mesh strip with pressure-sensitive adhesive intended to approximate and secure the edges of clean superficial skin wounds (e.g. simple lacerations, cuts, puncture wounds or post-surgical incisions). The protective peel-off liner ensures simple and efficient application.
SYLKE is one of humanity's oldest known biomaterials.
SYLKE Fibroin
SYLKE has a long history in medicine. Ancient civilisations like those in China and Egypt utilised it for wound care sutures. Silkworm silk comprises of two main proteins: fibroin, which provides structural strength and resilience, and sericin, a natural coating. Advancements in silk science have highlighted fibroin's versatility, making it a promising material for innovative applications in wound care.
If you cut it, SYLKE® it!
