Description

PERMA-HAND™ Suture, Black, Size 3-0, 30", SH Needle is a sterile, nonabsorbable surgical suture manufactured from silk, an organic protein derived from the cocoon of the silkworm Bombyx mori. The silk fibers undergo a specialized purification process to remove natural waxes and gums, ensuring a clean and uniform filament structure suitable for medical use.

The suture is coated with a proprietary wax mixture that enhances lubricity, reduces tissue drag, and improves overall handling characteristics during surgical procedures. This coating contributes to a smoother passage through tissue and supports more precise suture placement without compromising tensile strength or biocompatibility.

Fitted with a SH (taper point) needle and measuring 30 inches in length, this suture is designed for reliable soft tissue approximation. The black coloration of the suture provides enhanced visibility in the surgical field, making it particularly suitable for general closure, gastrointestinal, and subcutaneous applications.
