Description

The Precision Point Perma-Hand Surgical Suture 6/0, 18", PS-3 Needle is a nonabsorbable, sterile suture made from an organic protein called fibroin. Fibroin is derived from the domesticated silkworm species Bombyx mori (B. mori), a member of the Bombycidae family. This suture is designed for use in a variety of surgical procedures, providing high strength and flexibility for effective tissue closure.

The silk used for the braided suture is meticulously processed to remove natural waxes and gums, ensuring optimal performance during use. It is then coated with wax or silicone to enhance its smoothness, making it easier to handle and pass through tissues. The coated suture minimizes friction, reducing tissue trauma during insertion and knotting.

This suture is specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, offering versatility in multiple surgical specialties. It is suitable for use in delicate procedures such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures long-term retention and support, providing reliable closure for tissues requiring prolonged healing.
