Robust, well tolerated, long-lasting
Anatomical long-lasting fixation
FiberWire was the first high-strength suture on the market and continues to be the preferred choice of surgeons around the world. FiberWire's novel structure consists of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene core that provides superior strength and a coated braided cover that enhances tying properties and protects against abrasion. Arthrex continues to develop new, innovative products and techniques with FiberWire. FiberWire improves surgical outcomes by consistently providing optimal knot strength, loop security, abrasion resistance and minimal stretch, which supports these new products and techniques.
Anatomical long-lasting fixation
Multifilament core, braided cover
Extremely robust (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene)
