Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 3-0, 18", X-1 Needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of natural silk protein derived from the fibroin of silkworms. This organic composition offers excellent pliability and handling characteristics, making it a preferred material for various surgical applications requiring extended wound support.

The suture is carefully processed to remove natural waxes and gums. This purification enhances the consistency of the strand, ensuring a smooth and reliable performance during surgical procedures. The absence of impurities also helps reduce tissue reactivity and enhances compatibility with biological tissues.

A special wax coating is applied to the suture to provide optimal handling and knot security. The wax coating also helps reduce tissue drag, allowing smoother passage through tissues while preserving structural integrity. This coating supports ease of use and reliability in both deep and superficial tissue closures.
