Nature’s Oldest Biomaterial

Silk Fibroin

Silk, one of humanity's oldest known biomaterials, has a long history in medicine. Ancient civilizations like those in China and Egypt utilized it for wound care and sutures. At SYLKE®, we explore the potential of silk for modern applications, focusing on its key protein: fibroin.

Silkworm silk comprises 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.
