This PERMA-HAND™ Silk Black Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model K871H, is engineered for controlled soft tissue approximation where 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 characteristics.

The USP 4-0 size provides a fine yet versatile diameter suitable for delicate soft tissue and general surgical closure. The extended 75 cm (30 inch) length offers additional working reach for deeper operative fields and enhanced procedural flexibility.

This product features a single RB-1 PLUS taper point needle, designed for smooth penetration through soft tissue without cutting. The taper geometry minimises tissue trauma while ensuring accurate needle placement during approximation.

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