Ethicon | Perma-Hand Silk Suture | Black Braided | 2-0 Sizing | 30 in | K883H

The Ethicon K883H is a high-quality, nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of an organic protein called fibroin, derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori of the family Bombycidae. Fabricated for optimal tactile handling, this suture is braided to deliver high tensile strength, structural flexibility, and exceptional knot security on the surgical field. To optimize performance, the raw silk strands are processed with a proprietary conditioning treatment and coated with a specialized wax mixture to reduce capillarity and ensure a smooth surface configuration.

This black-dyed suture passes effortlessly through delicate soft tissue layers, providing excellent structural contrast against anatomical structures while minimizing localized tissue irritation.
