Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 6-0, 18", C-1 Needle is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of silk, an organic protein. The silk undergoes specialized processing to eliminate natural waxes and gums, enhancing its biocompatibility and mechanical integrity. This process ensures that the suture remains stable and reliable in soft tissue approximation.

The suture is coated with a proprietary wax mixture, which serves to reduce friction during passage through tissue. This coating significantly improves the handling properties, allowing for smoother manipulation and improved control during knot tying. The braided construction provides added strength and flexibility, facilitating secure and consistent ligation.

The C-1 needle attached to this suture is a 3/8 circle taper point needle, ideal for delicate soft tissue applications. It is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring precision, strength, and durability during surgical procedures. The taper point design minimizes tissue trauma by allowing smooth penetration without cutting tissue fibers.
