BI/TRI/QUAD-FURCATED BRAIDED STRUCTURES

AT A GLANCE

• Suture can be split into several loop segments or into multiple end strands.
• Potential to replace two sutures with one split tape construction

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.
