Description

Suture, Perma-Hand, Black, 2/0, 30, CT-1 is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an organic protein called fibroin, derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori (B. mori) of the family Bombycidae. This natural silk suture is meticulously processed to remove natural waxes and gums, enhancing its handling properties and ensuring consistent performance in surgical applications. The suture is then coated with wax or silicone to further improve its smoothness and knot security.

The Perma-Hand suture is specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its high tensile strength and durability make it an excellent choice for procedures that require reliable and long-lasting tissue support.

The black coloration of the suture enhances visibility, aiding surgeons in precise placement and adjustment during surgery. The 2/0 size and 30-inch length, combined with the CT-1 needle, provide versatility for a wide range of surgical needs.

This suture is particularly suited for use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. In ophthalmic procedures, its smooth, braided structure allows for delicate handling and minimal tissue trauma, essential for the sensitive eye tissues. Similarly, in neurological surgeries, the suture's precision and reliability support the intricate and delicate nature of nerve and brain tissue repair.
