Suture, 7 in. Length, Size 2, Blue, Polyethylene, Collagen-Coated, With 2 mm Each End Tapered to #2 FiberWire, Broad Footprint of the FiberTape is Appropriate for Repairs in Degenerative Cuff Tissue
FiberTape is an ultra-high strength 2 mm wide tape using a similar long chain polyethylene structure as the FiberWire suture. In addition to high-demand applications like AC joint reconstruction, the broad footprint of the FiberTape is appropriate for repairs in degenerative cuff tissue where tissue pull-through may be a concern. The Low-Profile Tape with its special structure made of polyethylene combines the advantages of the FiberWire and the FiberTape. Its wide supporting surface reduces the risk of tissue notching by 37%, compared to a #2 FiberWire. At the same time, an enlarged footprint emerges which promotes the healing of the labrum. The LabralTape is the ideal partner for the 2.9 mm PushLock or the 3.5mm Labral SwiveLock.
