Description

PERMA-HAND™ Suture, Size 6-0, Black, 18", with TG140-8 needle, is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of silk, a natural organic protein derived from the Bombyx mori silkworm. It undergoes purification to remove natural waxes and gums, resulting in a smooth, reliable suture material suited for precise wound closure.

The suture is coated with a proprietary wax blend that enhances its handling characteristics. This coating acts as a lubricant, reducing friction during tissue passage and minimizing drag. The result is a suture with improved pliability, reduced capillarity, and dependable knot security, even in delicate procedures.

The TG140-8 spatula needle is designed for fine, controlled tissue engagement, especially useful in ophthalmic and microsurgical applications. With its 18-inch length and fine diameter, this configuration is ideal for precise, delicate closures where suture handling, knot control, and tissue preservation are critical.
