Description

Perma-Hand suture is a nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of organic protein fibers. It is designed for use in procedures requiring durable and reliable tissue approximation. The suture material is sterile and processed to eliminate natural waxes and gums, ensuring a clean and consistent texture. This treatment enhances its handling characteristics during surgery.

The suture is coated with a specialized wax mixture, which provides smooth passage through tissues and reduces friction. This coating contributes to improved knot security and handling, minimizing the risk of knot slippage. The wax coating also helps to control capillarity, preventing excessive fluid absorption along the suture line.

The needle used with Perma-Hand sutures is a taper point, which facilitates precise and atraumatic tissue penetration. This needle type is suitable for delicate tissues, allowing for controlled insertion and minimizing tissue trauma. The suture size 6-0 and length of 18 inches make it ideal for fine surgical applications such as microsurgery and delicate soft tissue repairs.
