Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 0, 8 x 18", with CT-1 Needle, is a nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of an organic protein material. It is designed for long-term tissue approximation and ligation where permanent wound support is required. The suture undergoes specialized processing to remove natural waxes and gums, enhancing its performance during surgical procedures.

The suture is coated with a unique wax mixture that optimizes handling characteristics, allowing smooth passage through tissue and reducing friction. This coating also enhances knot security, ensuring reliable retention of knots without loosening. The processing minimizes capillarity, reducing the risk of bacterial contamination along the suture tract.

Equipped with a CT-1 taper point needle, the suture facilitates precise and atraumatic penetration of soft tissues. The needle's design promotes controlled tissue passage, decreasing trauma and improving healing outcomes. Its curved shape provides excellent maneuverability in confined or delicate surgical sites.
