Features & Benefits:
- Ethicon PERMAHAND® Silk Suture is a nonabsorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of anorganic protein.
- The sutures are processed to remove the natural waxes and gums, dyed black and coated with a special wax mixture.
- Suture elicits an acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by a gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
- While silk sutures are not absorbed, progressive degradation of the proteinaceous silk fiber in vivo may result in gradual loss of all of the sutureâs tensile strength over time.
- Due to the gradual loss of tensile strength which may occur over prolonged periods in vivo, silk suture should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required.
- Carefully selecting a surgical suture needle is a critical component in achieving excellent wound closure outcomes. The ideal surgical needle should be:
- Sharp enough to penetrate and carry suture through tissue with minimal resistance.
- Slim as possible without compromising strength.
- Rigid to resist bending, yet ductile to resist breaking.
- Stable in the grasp of the needleholder.
- Ethicon offers over 200 types of surgical suture needles, allowing clinicians great flexibility to select the most appropriate needle for the specific needs of the tissue being repaired.
