Ethicon PERMA-HAND® Silk 3-0 Suture | 622H | 60mm KS Reverse Cutting | 30" Black | BX/36

The Ethicon 622H is a high-performance, non-absorbable surgical suture crafted from premium organic silk. As a flagship of the PERMA-HAND® line, this Size 3-0 suture is the "universal standard" for procedures requiring a balance of fine diameter and high tensile strength. It is particularly favored for skin closure, fascia approximation, and ligation where the superior knot security of braided silk is mandatory.

Equipped with the KS (Keith Straight) needle, a massive 60mm reverse cutting instrument, the 622H is specifically designed for accessibility and leverage in straight-line closures. The reverse cutting edge provides the necessary strength to penetrate tough, dermis-heavy tissues without the risk of "cut-out" toward the wound edge.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Exceptional "Hand" and Pliability: PERMA-HAND® silk is processed to remove natural waxes and sericin, then coated with a proprietary wax/silicone mixture. This results in a "supple" suture with zero package memory that remains easy to handle and reposition.

• The KS Needle Advantage: The 60mm Keith Straight needle is ideal for skin closures where the surgeon prefers a hand-held (non-needle driver) technique. Its substantial length provides excellent leverage for long, interrupted or subcuticular stitches.

• Unrivaled Knot Security: The braided geometry of natural silk creates a high-friction mechanical lock. Once a knot is seated with Size 3-0 silk, it remains securely in place, significantly reducing the risk of slippage compared to synthetic monofilaments.

• Reverse Cutting Precision: By placing the cutting edge on the outer curve of the needle, the KS needle directs the cutting force away from the wound tension line, ensuring a stable and secure anchor in fibrous tissue.

• Permanent Tissue Support: While silk is a natural fiber, it is classified as a non-absorbable suture. It provides the long-term structural integrity required for permanent vessel occlusion or prolonged wound support until manually removed.
