This PERMA-HAND™ Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 1679H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation and skin closure where precision handling and strong knot security are essential. The suture is manufactured from black braided natural silk fibres with a coated finish to improve smooth passage through tissue while maintaining excellent tying characteristics.

The USP 3-0 size provides versatile tensile strength suitable for routine skin closure and general soft tissue procedures. The 45 cm (18 inch) length ensures controlled handling and efficient knot placement in both surgical and outpatient settings.

This product features a single PS-2 PRIME Micro-Point reverse cutting needle. The micro-point design enhances sharpness and penetration precision, while the reverse cutting geometry increases needle strength and minimises tissue cut-through risk during dermal closure.

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