Technical features

Material: ULTRABRAID is made of ultra-high-performance polyethylene (UHMWPE), which provides exceptional strength and durability.

- Design: The seam has a unique knitted configuration that increases knot strength and reduces friction, making it easier to tie.

- Colour and size: Available in a variety of colours, including white, blue and blue-white co-braid versions, and in sizes #2 and #5, from 24" to 40" length.

Clinical benefits:

High knot strength: ULTRABRAID offers higher knot strength compared to traditional polyester stitching, reducing the risk of knot loosening.

Increased slipperiness: Its design allows better gliding through the tissues, reducing damage during the sewing process.

Shear-resistant: Increased resistance to shearing ensures a secure fixation and reduces the risk of tissue damage.
