Frequently asked questions
Is the silk treated for better handling?
Yes. Each suture undergoes a purification process to remove natural waxes and gums. It is then treated with a proprietary wax coating to ensure:
- Superior knot security
- Smooth passage through delicate tissue
- Reduced capillarity
What is the benefit of the braided construction?
The braided structure of the organic silk fibers provides:
- Enhanced strength
- Increased flexibility
- Reliability required for consistent and secure wound management
Why is the double-armed needle configuration preferred?
The double-armed configuration provides the surgeon with greater versatility and precision, especially during specialized surgical procedures that require bilateral or specific pattern suturing techniques.
Is the needle designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The C-1 taper cutting needle features a 13 mm length and a 3/8 circle curvature. This specific geometry is precision-engineered to provide smooth penetration while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue.
Is this suture suitable for delicate procedures?
Yes. With a size 6-0 gauge, this suture is specifically engineered for delicate applications that demand fine-scale precision, high-quality material consistency, and minimal bulk.
Is the stainless steel needle durable?
The needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its ability to maintain its sharp point and structural integrity throughout the duration of the surgical procedure.
How should I handle the braided silk?
Due to its professional-grade construction, the suture should be handled according to standard surgical protocols. Its wax-coated surface is designed to allow for effortless movement through tissue, so minimal tension is typically required for knot placement.
Does the 18-inch length provide enough material?
The 18-inch length is the clinical standard for most specialized surgical tasks, offering the ideal balance between maneuverability and reducing waste during a procedure.
Is this product guaranteed to be sterile?
Yes, Perma-Hand sutures are provided in a sterile condition, ensuring they are ready for use in professional surgical environments immediately upon opening.
What is the professional quality of the silk used?
The suture is composed of high-purity organic protein silk. This material is selected for its biological consistency and track record as a dependable nonabsorbable medium for secure, long-term wound closure.
