Guidewire is now available with a Type-I bovine collagen coating to offer our customers a softer coating for improved handling characteristics. FiberWire suture is constructed of a multi-strand, long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) core with a braided jacket of polyester and UHMWPE that gives FiberWire superior strength, soft feel and abrasion resistance that is unequaled in orthopaedic surgery. Suture breakage during knot tying is virtually eliminated, which is especially critical during arthroscopic procedures. FiberWire's strength and reliability represents a major advancement in orthopaedic surgery.
