Description

Perma-Hand Suture, Black, Size 3-0, 8 X 30", with an SH taper point needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of organic protein fibers. The suture material is derived from natural sources and carefully processed to enhance its performance in surgical applications. 

The Perma-Hand suture undergoes a thorough processing step to remove natural waxes and gums, which improves its pliability and handling characteristics. The removal of these substances reduces surface irregularities, resulting in a smoother suture that glides easily through tissue. This processing also minimizes the risk of bacterial adherence and inflammation during wound healing.

A special wax coating is applied to the suture to enhance knot security and facilitate handling. This coating allows for secure knots that resist slipping, contributing to stable wound closure. The coating also reduces capillarity, preventing the wicking of fluids along the suture strand, which decreases the risk of infection.
