Here is a clue, Dr. Fraser himself stated the possible uses for the silk.
There have also been proven studies that silk is great to use as suture material for many reasons. These are all things the board has posted before as it relates to the science of the company.

Excerpt:
Dr. Fraser indicates that the stronger fiber could find application in sutures, where some natural silkworm silk is used, as well as wound dressings, artificial ligaments, tendons, tissue scaffolds, microcapsules, cosmetics and textiles. This work is the culmination of a research effort begun more than ten years ago with an internal award from Notre Dame to Dr. Fraser to develop silkworm transgenics capabilities; a two-year NIH R21 grant awarded to Jarvis, Lewis and Fraser; and several years of supplemental funding from Kraig BioCraft Laboratories. The success of this research would have been impossible without the ability to carry out silkworm transgenesis, mastered by Bong-hee Sohn and Young-soo Kim in the Fraser lab at Notre Dame.
