This PERMA-HAND™ Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 1588H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation and ligation where superior handling, pliability and knot security are essential. The suture is composed of black braided natural silk fibres with a coated finish to enhance smooth tissue passage while maintaining excellent tying performance.

The USP 2-0 size provides dependable tensile strength suitable for general soft tissue closure and ligation. The 45 cm (18 inch) length offers controlled handling and efficient knot placement across a wide range of routine surgical procedures.

This product features a single PS PRIME reverse cutting needle, engineered for precise penetration of tougher tissues such as skin. The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength, reduces tissue cut-through risk and ensures consistent performance during wound closure.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is suitable for clinical and hospital environments requiring reliable handling and secure wound approximation.
