Ethicon A305H 2-0 PERMA HAND BLACK 12X30" TIE Box of 36

Ethicon PERMA-HAND® Silk 2-0 Ligating Tie | A305H | 30" Black | 12 Strands/Packet | BX/36

The Ethicon A305H is a premium, non-absorbable surgical tie engineered for the rapid and secure ligation of vessels and soft tissue structures. Composed of high-quality organic silk fibers, the PERMA-HAND® series is the global clinical benchmark for manual tying. This Size 2-0 configuration offers a high-tensile, mid-range diameter that serves as the "universal workhorse" for tying off medium-to-large vessels and securing deep tissue planes.

As a non-needled (pre-cut) tie, the A305H is designed for maximum intraoperative efficiency. Each sterile packet contains 12 individual 30-inch strands, providing a high-density supply of ties for complex procedures like bowel resections, hysterectomies, or extensive vascular bypasses where frequent ligation is required.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Unmatched "Tie-Down" Handling: 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, allowing knots to be "thrown" and seated with exceptional tactile feedback.

• Superior Knot Security: The braided geometry of natural silk creates a high-friction mechanical lock. Once a knot is seated with Size 2-0 silk, it remains securely in place without the "creep" or slippage often encountered with synthetic monofilaments.

• High-Volume Efficiency: By providing 12 strands per foil, the A305H significantly reduces the number of packets the scrub technician must open during a procedure. This streamlines the surgical workflow and reduces medical waste.

• Permanent Tissue Support: Classified as a non-absorbable suture, silk provides the structural integrity required for permanent vessel occlusion. Over time, the material is encapsulated by connective tissue with minimal inflammatory response.

• Excellent Visualization: The deep black pigment provides an immediate visual reference against red blood and internal organs, ensuring the surgical team can monitor knot placement and integrity under bright OR lighting.
