Medical Sutures & Assembly:
Medical sutures are frequently used in general surgery, most notably for tissue repair and approximation. But, they can also play a role in stabilization and fixation, actuation, component assembly and even device delivery, especially in minimally invasive surgeries. We specialize in sutures for all of the above.
Cables and Tethers:
Similar to sutures, braided cables and tethers are complex braided yarns that are used for applications that require significant strength or load bearing capability. Cables and tethers are often made with high strength materials such as UHMWPE or a mixture of UHMWPE and PET or PET and LCP and can be braided in a round or flat tape pattern.
Surgical Mesh:
Surgical mesh is typically a flat, open textile used to reinforce tissue or bone. Mesh can also play a role in promoting healing by allowing for cellular ingrowth.
Scaffolds:
Tissue scaffolds are textiles that act as matrices for cellular growth and are critically important in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Scaffolds, made from polymeric material, provide a framework that cells can attach to and proliferate.
Surgical Pledgets:
Surgical pledgets play a supporting role in wound management along with surgical sutures and suture assemblies. Get in touch with us today to discuss our surgical pledget capabilities
