Project Description

SUTUR’LINK®

Suture – Tendons & Ligaments Reintegration

SUTUR’LINK® is made of strands of high density polyethylene (UHMWPE) braided with a blue marker wire made of polypropylene to better tailor the product.

SUTUR’LINK® is crimped with a needle at each extremity:

  • One round needle, 3/8 x 25 mm, intended for suturing tendons and ligaments
  • One triangular needle, 1/2 x 40 mm, intended for trans-bone reinsertions and tuberosity fixations.

ADVANTAGES

  • High tensile strength
  • Biocompatible
  • Non absorbable
  • Stables knots
  • Adapted needles
  • Easily visible (color)
  • Optimizing foam packaged

SUTUR’ LINK® is indicated for repairing or reinforcing ligaments, closure and/or ligation of soft tissues, and tuberosity reinsertions.

VERY HIGH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

SUTUR’LINK® has high mechanical properties due to its composition and its manufacturing process.
SUTUR’LINK® is made of several strands of high density polyethylene braided together. This leads to obtain a high strength suture perfectly uniform on all its length.

MARKER

During braiding process of polyethylene strands, a bleu polypropylene strand is intimately and regularly inserted.
Final product is easily locatable in case of association with others sutures.

NON ABSORBABLE

SUTUR’LINK® is non absorbable and does not undergo in situ degradation. SUTUR’LINK® is specifically built for strong repair and in cases where long term stability is required like for humeral tuberosity insertion.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY

High density polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polypropylene are well-known products and of clinical common use since long years.

KNOTS STABILITY

Thanks to its composition and its manufacturing process, SUTUR’LINK® allows creating strong knots, whose are not sliding and whose are not untying.
The repair realized with SUTUR’LINK® guarantees security and solidity of the suture for a satisfying clinical result.
