Description

The Suture, Black 6-0 Perma-Hand 18" S-14, manufactured by Ethicon, is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an organic protein called fibroin. This material is derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori (B. mori) of the family Bombycidae.

Silk for braided sutures undergoes a specialized process to remove natural waxes and gums before being coated with wax or silicone. This ensures optimum handling and knot security without excess capillarity.

Indicated for use in general soft tissue approximating and/or ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, this suture offers reliability and strength in various surgical applications. Each package contains braided silk sutures along with stainless steel needles, providing a comprehensive solution for surgical needs.
