Description

Precision Point PERMA-HAND™ Surgical Suture, Size 5/0, 18", with a PS-2 needle, is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of silk, an organic protein filament. This suture is intended for long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended tensile strength retention is necessary. Silk is processed to eliminate natural waxes and gums, enhancing biocompatibility and reducing the potential for tissue reaction.

The PS-2 needle features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting design, optimized for clean and precise penetration through dense or fibrous tissues such as skin or mucosa. Its small size and 18-inch suture length make it particularly suitable for fine, delicate procedures requiring controlled needle movement and accurate placement.

These sutures are widely used in ophthalmic, dermatological, and microsurgical applications where nonabsorbable support is desired. The balance of pliability, strength, and knot security makes PERMA-HAND™ silk sutures a reliable choice for procedures requiring precise and stable wound closure.
