This non-absorbable suture is composed of a special ultra high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene fiber and features a unique braid configuration. As a result, Ultrabraid suture offers special advantages over traditional polyester suture, including a high knot breaking strength, ideal lubricity and a strong resistance to fraying. Ultrabraid suture is preloaded on all Twinfix suture anchor that have #2 sutures. Twinfix Ti suture anchors provide secure fixation with a wide range of sizes to match various applications and bone qualities. Anchor cores are matched to the drill size to facilitate insertion while maximizing fixation strength. For arthroscopic or mini-open shoulder procedures, trust the strength and security of Twinfix suture anchors with Ultrabraid suture. Twinfix TI and Twinfix AB suture anchors have an updated inserter handle. This robust handle provides surgeons ideal control when deploying anchors.
