Sutures

A major advancement in orthopedic surgery providing the ultimate in reliability and strength, FiberWire® sutures are constructed of a multi-stranded, long chain, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) core with a braided jacket of polyester and UHMWPE. This combination gives it superior strength, soft feel, and abrasion resistance that virtually eliminates breakage during knot tying. FiberWire suture is often five times more abrasion resistant than standard polyester sutures.

FiberLoop® Suture
FiberLoop suture, part of the FiberWire® suture family, has both of its ends attached to a single needle, creating a suture loop. FiberLoop suture is the perfect option for multi-strand tendon repairs. These small-diameter looped FiberWire products allow for strong multi-strand flexor and extensor tendon repairs while reducing tendon damage from multiple needle passes. FiberLoop suture is available with multiple needle options to prevent cutting suture while stitching.The #2 FiberLoop suture is a continuous loop of #2 FiberWire suture on a thin, straight Nitinol needle. The straight needle is easy to handle and moves freely on the suture to recenter itself after passing through tissue and to facilitate even tensioning.#2 TigerLoop™ suture has distinctive stripes to help differentiate graft strands during tensioning.
FiberTape® and TigerTape™
Part of the FiberWire® suture family, FiberTape® and TigerTape are ultra-high strength, 2 mm width tapes using a similar long chain polyethylene structure as the FiberWire suture. In addition to high demand applications like AC joint reconstruction, the broad footprint of the FiberTape is appropriate for repairs in degenerative cuff tissue where tissue pull-through may be a concern. FiberTape is blue with each end tapered to a #2 FiberWire and comes 2 mm, 36” or 2 mm, 7”. TigerTape is 2 mm, 7” white/black with each end tapered to a #2 FiberWire.There are a variety of innovative solutions to arthroscopic suture passing in the FiberWire family including TigerWire®, FiberStick® and TigerStick®, FiberLoop®, FiberSnare®, FiberChain®, and FiberLink™. Part of the FiberWire Suture Family includes 2-0 FiberWire Meniscus Repair Needles and the FiberWire Suture Kit. FiberWire accessories include Suture Cutters, the FiberWire Scissor, FingerShield™ and FiberWire Tensioner.Trusted by leading orthopedic surgeons worldwide, FiberWire has contributed to successful surgical outcomes in over one million orthopedic surgical procedures.
FiberWire® and TigerWire®
Part of the FiberWire® family, TigerWire® suture uses the same high strength construction as FiberWire except that it contains a black marker strand in the suture weave. This strand appears as a stripe in the suture, making suture identification easier during joint reconstruction and soft tissue repairs. Trusted by leading orthopedic surgeons worldwide, FiberWire has contributed to successful surgical outcomes in over one million orthopedic surgical procedures.There are a variety of innovative solutions to arthroscopic suture passing in the FiberWire family including FiberStick® and TigerStick®, FiberTape® and TigerTape®, FiberLoop®, FiberSnare®, FiberChain®, and FiberLink™.
