SurgicalMesh - Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Yarns

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) yarns have extremely high tenacities and moduli which make them ideal for high strength and low elongation applications including...

• orthopedic sutures
• orthopedic fixation devices
• tethers
• actuator cables
• reinforced catheters

UHMWPE yarns may be

• Braided
