This PERMA-HAND™ Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 685G, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation and ligation where strength, smooth handling and reliable knot security are essential. The suture is manufactured from black braided natural silk fibres with a coated finish to enhance tissue passage while maintaining superior tying performance.

The USP 2-0 size provides strong tensile strength suitable for general surgical soft tissue closure and ligature procedures. The 45 cm (18 inch) length ensures controlled handling and efficient knot placement in both routine and outpatient surgical settings.

This product features a single FS reverse cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration of tougher tissues such as skin. The reverse cutting configuration enhances needle strength and reduces the risk of tissue cut-through during closure.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is suitable for hospital and clinical environments requiring consistent and dependable performance.
