| Ethicon Perma-Hand Silk 4-0 Suture | PS-2 Precision Needle | A186H The Ethicon A186H represents the gold standard in surgical handling. Composed of high-quality organic protein (fibroin), this black braided silk suture is globally recognized for its unmatched "hand"��providing surgeons with a level of tactile feedback and knot security that synthetic materials rarely achieve. As a Perma-Hand�product, these sutures undergo a proprietary de-gumming process to remove natural waxes and are subsequently coated with a special wax or silicone to ensure smooth, atraumatic passage through the most delicate tissues. Key Specifications Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) Product Code: A186H Suture Size: 4-0 Length: 30 inches (75 cm) Material: Black Braided Silk Type: Non-Absorbable (Natural Protein) Needle Type: PS-2 (Precision Point Reverse Cutting) Needle Geometry: 19mm, 3/8 Circle Curvature Quantity: Box of 36 Expiration: December 31, 2028 (12-31-2028) Technical & Clinical Advantages Superior Knot Security: Silk is famous for "holding its own." Once a knot is thrown, the natural friction of the braided silk fibers ensures the knot remains locked in place, providing absolute confidence in critical ligations. Refined Handling Characteristics: The braiding process yields a suture that is exceptionally supple and easy to maneuver. This allows for precise "fine-tuning" of tension during soft tissue approximation. PS-2 Precision Needle: The "Precision Point" (PS) needle is specifically engineered for cosmetic-level results. It maintains superior sharpness throughout multiple passes, significantly reducing tissue "drag" and preventing edge trauma. Coated for Atraumatic Flow: Despite its braided structure, the specialized coating ensures that the A186H glides through the dermis and subcutaneous layers with minimal resistance, mimicking the smoothness of a monofilament. Deep Black Pigmentation: The intense black dye provides a sharp visual contrast against various skin tones and surgical fields, facilitating fast and accurate stitch placement. Ideal Applications Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Fine skin closures and subcutaneous approximation where handling precision is paramount. Dermatology: Secure closure of excisions and skin grafts. General Surgery: Ligation and soft tissue approximation where a natural, high-security suture is preferred. Oral Surgery: Frequently used for mucosal closures due to its comfort and ease of knotting.
