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 provides 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.
