From post-operative wounds to simple lacerations,
SYLKE® has you covered.
Millions of patients worldwide endure discomfort, complications, and delayed healing from traditional wound closure devices. These issues can lead to higher risks of infections, skin irritations, premature detachment, and increased healthcare costs. For healthcare systems, physicians, and clinicians focused on value-based care, selecting the right wound closure is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes, reducing the risk of these complications, and ensuring cost-effective care.
At SYLKE®, we're dedicated to addressing this problem and redefining wound care through innovative solutions. By combining the natural benefits of silk with cutting-edge medical technology, we're pioneering a new standard of care that prioritizes patient comfort, safety, and well-being. Our mission is to empower healthcare facilities, surgeons, and patients with superior products that deliver measurable improvements in patient outcomes and cost efficiency.
SYLKE® Adhesive Wound Closure is our first groundbreaking solution, revolutionizing the management of incisions and lacerations. Made from 99.9% non-immunogenic, medical-grade silk fibroin, SYLKE® offers a biocompatible, breathable, and water-resistant closure that gently yet securely adheres to the skin. Its unique 360° stetch mimics the natural elasticity of skin, allowing for movement without compromising the wound closure. With up to 14 days of wear time, even on dynamic areas like joints, SYLKE® is designed to protect the wound, offload tension, and support the body's natural healing process. With SYLKE®, we’re not just improving wound care - we’re defining a new standard of care that prioritizes patient outcomes and advances the future of healthcare.
