Non-absorbable suture thread FORCE FIBER®

orthopedic surgery

Force Fiber® Suture is prepared from an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) material that is incredibly strong and durable. The suture is flexible, nonabrasive, and has a silk-like feel that is gentle on tissue and gloves. Proprietary coreless braid configuration, developed by Teleflex Medical OEM, enhances the suture’s performance and handling characteristics. It creates a pliable, easy-to-handle orthopedic suture that offers greater tensile strength than polyester and polyblend suture.* Force Fiber® Suture allows tighter knot security during the tying process and superior knot break strength.* The suture’s low knot profile allows precise knot placement and a smooth tie down. This suture significantly outperforms polyblend suture of comparable size for straight tensile and knot tensile strength.* NEW!
