Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 2-0, 8 X 18", with a CT-2 taper point needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture made from organic protein fibers. The suture material is derived from natural silk and is specifically processed to enhance its physical properties and surgical performance. This suture is designed to provide reliable wound closure with high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity.

The manufacturing process includes the removal of natural waxes and gums from the silk fibers, resulting in a smoother surface and improved pliability. This treatment reduces the risk of inflammation and bacterial colonization, thereby enhancing patient safety during the healing process. The suture’s structural integrity is maintained while optimizing ease of handling.

A specialized wax coating is applied to the suture to improve knot security and handling characteristics. This coating reduces capillarity, preventing the wicking of fluids along the suture strand and lowering the risk of infection. It also facilitates secure knot tying without excessive bulk or slippage, which is critical for maintaining wound closure stability.
