Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black Braided, Size 3-0, 12 x 18" is a nonabsorbable surgical suture made from organic protein fibers. The manufacturing process involves removing natural waxes and gums to enhance the suture’s purity and performance. This preparation ensures the suture maintains its strength and durability during surgical procedures.

The suture is coated with a special wax mixture designed to optimize handling characteristics. This coating facilitates smooth passage through tissue, reducing friction and minimizing trauma. The wax coating improves knot security, allowing precise and reliable knot tying during surgical closure.

Perma-Hand sutures exhibit minimal capillarity, preventing the wicking of fluids along the suture strand. This characteristic reduces the risk of bacterial contamination and infection at the wound site. The braided construction of the suture provides excellent tensile strength and flexibility, making it suitable for various tissue types requiring permanent support.
