Fiber Wire is a braided surgical suture made from ultra-high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyethylene. It is designed to elicit a minimal inflammatory response in tissues. Being non-absorbable, Fiber Wire maintains excellent tensile strength over time with no significant loss of strength known to occur in vivo.
Key features include:
-
Material: Ultra-high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyethylene.
-
Absorbability: Non-absorbable.
-
Strength: Maintains excellent tensile strength and provides high strength and durability.
-
Primary Use: Widely used in arthroscopic procedures.
-
Packaging: Commonly preloaded on many arthroscopic anchors and available with a needle, 36″ long.
