Redefining Skin Closure
SYLKE® Skin Closure is an innovative, sterile skin closure solution made from woven silk fibroin, a naturally derived structural protein known for its strength and biocompatibility.
Designed to provide a comfortable, breathable, and flexible alternative to conventional adhesive-based skin closure methods, SYLKE® helps hold well-approximated skin edges together while protecting the incision.
Its pressure-sensitive adhesive allows for immediate application without cyanoacrylates, offering a streamlined approach to surgical incision management.

SYLKE® Skin Closure is indicated for topical closure and coverage of thoroughly cleansed simple lacerations and minor cuts, where it may be used as the primary skin closure. SYLKE® Skin Closure is also indicated for topical closure and coverage of post-surgical skin incisions in which deeper layers have been closed, where it is used as an adjunct to sutures or staples. Wound edges must be easily approximated without tension.
