Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 2-0, 18", with X-1 Needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of natural organic protein fibers. The suture material is derived from silk, known for its excellent tensile strength and reliability in tissue approximation. The natural waxes and gums present in the raw silk are meticulously removed during processing to enhance the suture’s purity and minimize tissue reaction.

The suture is coated with a specialized wax mixture that improves handling characteristics and knot security. This coating reduces surface friction, facilitating smooth passage through tissue while maintaining excellent grip during knot tying. The balance between coating and material ensures minimal capillarity, preventing the wicking of fluids that could increase the risk of infection.

Equipped with a reverse cutting X-1 needle, the suture is designed for precision and control in soft tissue procedures. The needle’s shape and cutting edges optimize penetration while minimizing trauma, especially in dense or tough tissues. The suture’s braided structure provides enhanced flexibility and strength, allowing for secure wound closure.
