ARTHREX 2 30" FIBERTAPE BRAIDED POLYBLEND SUTURE, BLUE 7" WORKING LENGTH [EACH]
- FiberTape is an ultra-high strength 2 mm tape 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 ideal for repairs in degenerative cuff tissue where tissue pull-through may be a concern.
- Comprised of a polyblend of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) polyester and may include nylon yarns.
- Additional materials to the sutures include silicone elastomer coating.
- The coating acts as a lubricant for suture sliding, knot tying, and ease of passing suture through tissue.
