Teleflex Medical OEM makes the Fusion suture from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The company says the manufacturing process involves braiding through a proprietary, continuous process that creates seamless transitions between each segment, versus look-alike products in which a flat segment is “sewn” onto two round sutures.
The Force Fiber Fusion suture is FDA cleared for approximation and/or ligation of soft tissue, including the use of allograft tissue for orthopedic procedures.
