The Canine Cruciate Kit is an assembly of #2 or #5 FiberWire with a curved and straight needle swaged on to be used with the lateral suture technique. FiberWire suture is constructed of a multi-stranded long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene core with a polyester braided jacket that gives FiberWire superior strength, soft feel and abrasion resistance that is unequaled in orthopedic surgery. Suture breakage during knot tying is virtually eliminated, especially critical during arthroscopic procedures. FiberWire represents a major advancement in orthopedic surgery.
The multi-strand long chain ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene cre dramamtically increases FiberWire abrasion resistance. Surgical procedures that create bone edges, tunnel edges, and articulation surface abrasion areas are appropriate indications for FiberWire. FiberWire is over five tiems more abrasion resistant than standard polyester suture. The FiberWire Scissors was designed to cut any size or style suture, especially FiberWire, in open surgical cases where an arthroscopic Suture cutter is not necessary. With its specially designed cutting edges, it can cut FiberWire cleanly and effortlessly without frayed edges. The FiberWire Tensioner provides controlled tensioning of FiberWire loops during knot tying when reapproximating soft tissue. The blunt tip keeps the knot in place while the tensioning wheel and spring mechanism gently tension the loop to tighten the repair. |
