Complex Braiding Structures for Customizing Suture
Force Fiber® OrthoTape® braid and Force Fiber Fusion® Suture can be divided into separate flat tape strands or braided back into a singular round suture or tape segment.
Teleflex Medical OEM can integrate two, three, or more flat tape segments into one continuous strand.
Manual sewing of segments is eliminated! Our continuous braiding process can produce variations of complex, divided segments at the end of a suture or between singular round or flat tape segments.
Strand can be split into “loops” or multiple, end branches.
Potential to use bifurcated constructs in applications where two sutures were used for fixation or as a component in a medical device.
