Teleflex Medical OEM05.09.18
Teleflex Medical OEM, a global provider of custom-engineered sutures, has announced an advanced braiding technology that can divide a suture into multiple end branches or integrate several “loops” within the strand. This continuous braiding process can produce variations of complex, divided segments at the end of a suture, or between singular round or flat tape segments. The need for expensive and time-intensive manual sewing is eliminated.
The braiding technology allows for a broad range of configurations that are expected to be used in orthopedic applications where two sutures are presently used for fixation.
At this time, the furcated braiding process can be used to customize Teleflex Medical OEM’s high-strength Force Fiber OrthoTape Braid, a flat tape, and to Force Fiber Fusion Suture, a product that transitions from round suture to a flat center and back to round suture in one seamless strand.
