Ethicon A306H 0 PERMA HAND BLACK 6X30" TIE Box of 36

Ethicon PERMA-HAND® Silk 0 Ligating Tie | A306H | 30" Black | 6 Strands/Packet | BX/36

The Ethicon A306H is a high-performance, non-absorbable surgical tie engineered for rapid and secure ligation of large vessels and deep-tissue structures. Composed of the finest organic silk fibers, the PERMA-HAND® series is the global clinical standard for manual tying. This Size 0 configuration provides massive tensile strength, making it the premier choice for "stick-ties" and manual ligatures in abdominal surgery, thoracic procedures, and orthopedic "heavy-lift" closures.

Unlike standard armed sutures, the A306H is a non-needled (pre-cut) tie. Each sterile packet contains six individual 30-inch strands, allowing the surgical team to perform multiple ligations efficiently from a single opened unit, reducing waste and operative downtime.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior "Hand" and Pliability: PERMA-HAND® silk is processed to remove natural sericin and waxes, then coated with a proprietary mixture of wax and silicone. This results in a suture with "zero memory" that remains supple, allowing it to conform perfectly to the surgeon’s fingers for precise manual knot-tying.

• Unrivaled Knot Security: The braided geometry of natural silk creates a high-friction mechanical lock. Once a knot is "seated" with Size 0 silk, it remains securely in place without the "creep" or slippage common in synthetic monofilaments.

• Multi-Strand Efficiency: By providing six 30-inch strands per foil, the A306H is optimized for procedures requiring frequent ligations (e.g., bowel resections or vascular bypasses). This allows the scrub technician to pass ties to the surgeon in rapid succession.

• Permanent Tissue Support: While silk is naturally occurring, it is classified as a non-absorbable suture. It provides the long-term structural integrity required for permanent vessel occlusion and deep-layer support, eventually becoming encapsulated by connective tissue.

• High Visibility in the Field: The deep black logwood dye provides an immediate visual reference against blood and internal organs, ensuring the surgical team can monitor knot placement and integrity under high-intensity OR lighting.
