In the world of modern surgery, strength, reliability, and precision are non-negotiable. ULTRANET® Fiber, developed from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), sets a new benchmark in surgical sutures by delivering unmatched tensile strength, exceptional durability, and superior handling performance.
At Suture Planet, we take pride in offering innovative solutions that help surgeons perform with confidence. ULTRANET® Fiber is one such breakthrough designed to meet the needs of demanding surgical procedures such as orthopedic surgery, sports injury repair, and sternum closure.
What is UHMWPE Suture?
UHMWPE stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, a medical-grade material known for:
- High tensile strength
- Abrasion resistance
- Exceptional biocompatibility
- Low friction surface
When braided into a suture, UHMWPE transforms into a powerful wound closure material that outperforms traditional sutures—even stainless steel—by up to 5 times in strength.
Key Features of ULTRANET® Fiber
- Ultra-Strong Material: Crafted from medical-grade UHMWPE, ULTRANET® Fiber offers superior strength for critical wound closures, ensuring surgical reliability.
- Dyed Tracer for Visibility: Designed with a dyed tracer, the suture is easily visible during surgical procedures, aiding in precision and control.
- Smooth Handling: With a low frictional coefficient and lubricious design, ULTRANET® Fiber enables smooth knot tying, minimizing tissue drag and trauma.
- Excellent Abrasion Resistance: The suture’s unique braided structure offers outstanding abrasion resistance, making it ideal for procedures under constant stress and movement.
- No Tissue Reaction: Biocompatible and non-reactive (Grade 0 tissue response), ULTRANET® Fiber is safe for prolonged surgical applications.
- Rigid Core Structure: The inner core gives the suture a stable backbone, improving knot security and overall handling.
