Description

PERMA-HAND™ Suture, Black, Size 7-0, 18", TG140-8 Needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture made from purified silk, an organic protein. It is designed to offer reliable performance in soft tissue approximation, especially where long-term tensile strength is not critical. The suture undergoes a specialized treatment process to remove natural waxes and gums, ensuring a more consistent and biocompatible material.

The suture is coated with a specially formulated wax mixture that enhances its handling characteristics. This coating reduces surface friction, allowing the suture to glide smoothly through tissue. The waxed surface contributes to reduced tissue drag and facilitates precise and secure knot tying, a critical requirement in delicate surgical procedures.

PERMA-HAND™ Silk Sutures are processed to achieve optimal handling performance. They offer excellent pliability and flexibility, which provide surgeons with greater control and precision. The coating and construction also help maintain minimal capillarity, reducing the risk of fluid migration along the suture line and thus lowering the risk of infection.
