Description

The Suture, Silk Braided Black 4-0 18 FS2, features a reverse cutting needle designed for precise and reliable suturing. This suture is composed of Perma-Hand, a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture made from organic protein. The use of organic protein ensures durability and strength, making it suitable for various surgical applications.

To enhance performance, the sutures undergo a processing stage to remove natural waxes and gums. This step is crucial in reducing the risk of tissue reaction and ensuring optimal handling. Following this, the sutures are coated with a special wax mixture, which contributes to improved knot security and handling characteristics. The coating also minimizes the risk of excessive capillarity, which can interfere with the suture's functionality and tissue healing.

The reverse cutting needle incorporated into the suture is designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue while providing strong, secure anchorage. This design feature is particularly beneficial in procedures requiring precise and reliable closure.
